Found it too much in a valuable 0-105 AW handicap off her revised mark last time but wasn't beaten far and remains open to improvement on her turf debut back from a few months off; holds leading claims for a yard in fine form.

Upped to 2m for a handicap win at York Ebor meeting (good to firm) last August; tried front-running to positive effect against her own sex over about 1m6f on her subsequent two starts when winning the Group 2 Park Hill at Doncaster (good to soft) and second in Group 1 at Longchamp (very soft); has a form chance on this return but the stayer's mantle will have to be shed.

Unraced on softer than good; fourth when she tried a Listed race and Irish Group 3 this summer, coming from last to fourth in a steadily run race for the latter over 1m6f, despite hanging right; 2m duly proved just the ticket back in a handicap at York three weeks ago, asserting late on; perhaps testing ground will offset today's shorter distance; chance if so.

J: Tom Marquand

Won three (one on good to firm) of her four handicaps; improvement has stalled in Listed race and Irish Group 3 but she came from last to fourth in a steadily run, nine-runner race for the latter over 1m6f, despite hanging right, and that gave encouragement for 2m on today's return to a handicap.

Form & Verdict
Sharp improver since handicapping on the AW, winning three and going 25lb up the weights; may have hit her ceiling now and will need to improve again back on turf but her recent second, back from a short break, represented another personal best.

There was a hiccup on penultimate start (possibly pressed too strong a pace) but she's otherwise been steadily progressive in handicaps; came from off the pace for a narrow win when upped to 1m4f at Brighton latest; may have more in the tank but this is a much stronger race and all her success has been on AW or good to firm.

Had a break since a beaten favourite at Nottingham 79 days ago when she possibly pressed too strong a pace; beat all bar a Haggas favourite (since run well in a Group 3) over 1m2f here the time before; unraced past 1m2f but she's by Camelot.

Form & Verdict
Improved on last autumn's two efforts when a clear second (third a winner since) on her Newbury return, upped to this trip from 1m; hard to know the exact merits of that as yet but she remains open to further improvement now handicapping.

Finished third of five at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) on her handicap debut last April, form that has been well franked by the winner, and got off the mark at the fifth attempt when landing a maiden at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) on her final start for Peter Chapple-Hyam; has since changed yards (same owner) having been off since and could have more to offer.

Went close in a Kempton novice (1m, Polytrack) last November and she found improvement when runner-up at Newbury (1m2f, good) on her return in April; finished third of five on handicap debut at Brighton but that form has been boosted by the first two since and she's respected back in a maiden.

Competitive off this sort of mark during a limited campaign last year without looking to have anything in hand; was a similar story on her 1m4f comeback early in the month and she remains vulnerable to improvers.

Competitive off this sort of mark during a limited campaign last year without looking to have anything in hand; similar story over this trip on her comeback in early April and she took a step backwards at Brighton (1m2f, also good to firm) 25 days later; handicapper's not really budging but cheekpieces are enlisted and this is winnable.

Form & Verdict
Closed out last season with a surprise Tapeta win and ran to a similar level on her Southwell comeback two months ago off her revised mark; this longer trip should be within range on the dam's side but she'll need to improve for it.
