Won a maiden at Nottingham last summer (8.3f, good to firm) but 0-9 in handicaps since; low-key return from a 12-week break this month and cheekpieces are now given a go; others appeal more.

Inclined to overdo it when going this far previously but the return to 1m didn't suit (minus tongue-tie, as today) last time; that was a step back in the right direction though and she's on a competitive mark if settling.

Form & Verdict
Inconsistent for William Haggas, though did win a 1m2f maiden and went close in a 1m Sandown handicap; faded away on stable debut (1m2f, good) but was only 4-1 for that handicap and should win races for new yard.

Won 1m2f maiden here last May for William Haggas and fair third in Hamilton handicap (8.3f, good) last month on third run for this yard; needs something extra today but continues to edge down the weights and her trainer has won three of the last six runnings; could be involved.

Of serious interest on last season's best form for William Haggas; yet to fire for David O'Meara but her latest run at Leicester can be ignored as she was trapped against the rail for most of the final 2f; fine on good ground but unraced on slower.

Form & Verdict
Unbeaten in this headgear combination and brought up her hat-trick without too much fuss at Musselburgh (1m1f, good); that was a Class 6 but effectively off the same mark here with a 5lb claimer drafted in; likely to go from the front.

Front-runner who won five times last April-July (good/good to firm) and took it up another notch with easy all-the-way win in 13-runner Musselburgh handicap (1m, good) under Tom Kiely-Marshall on reappearance 11 days ago; that was an apprentice race so she escapes a penalty and is 9lb well in compared to her future mark.

Front-runner who won five times last April-July (good/good to firm), including over C&D; down the field at Nottingham last October when last seen but this mark isn't necessarily beyond her in view of her good third at Haydock (1m, good) in September; could make a bold bid if fully tuned up.

Form & Verdict
Had seven races for Brian Meehan, her sole success coming over 7f here last summer (good to soft; 3lb lower); another good run the final time but also on slow ground (6f, heavy) and could do with some rain; bought for 32,000gns; unraced over this far but pedigree a mix of speed and stamina.
