Has a very good C&D record with three wins (all good to firm) last term; had dipped below her last winning mark when attempting to make it four three weeks ago, so her sixth of seven behind Powdering was underwhelming; dropped a further 2lb and she's not readily dismissed.

Front-running C&D hat-trick on good to firm last summer started with a win in this race; as good as ever in 5f events at Bath this year and a subsequent Listed defeat on good to soft at Haydock (28-1) can be glossed over; yard also won this in 2022 and she's likely to be on her game.

Back to his best last year and his reappearance second of 13 at Pontefract (5f) in April sent his mark to new heights; hasn't matched that in three starts since but last time's fifth of ten from the widest stall at Chester (6f, also good to soft; not clear run) suggests this mark isn't beyond him; in the picture.
