Form & Verdict
C&D record of 1251, the wins coming on slower than good; absent since a lacklustre effort at York last October; could well progress again this year but she has an absence to contend with and won't be able to get away with sloppy starts off her current mark.

Her three handicap wins have all come over C&D on good ground or slower; it was only a 0-88 that she won here on her reappearance in May but she fairly bolted up, easing her way into contention from well off the pace and skipping clear inside the final furlong; reverted to front-running in an Ayr Listed event last month but overdid things and dropped away late on; 11lb higher than for May's win but still a strong contender if the ground doesn't dry out too much.

Always had stacks of ability and he did well for Tom Clover last summer, winning 5f handicaps at Windsor and Newmarket; looked rusty on his return to action at Nottingham two weeks ago, typically taking a strong hold, and he could take a step forward with that behind him; the likely strong pace will suit and Rossa Ryan is a positive booking; high on the list.
