Form & Verdict
Took advantage of her handy berth when off the mark at the 21st attempt in a newly applied visor at Thirsk (5f, good) last week; reappears quickly under a 5lb penalty (claimer removes 3lb) over this longer trip; it's relevant her dam was a 7f winner, so must enter calculations.

Prominent-racer who likes it here, winning for Connor Beasley over C&D last month off 4lb lower from stall 1; always wide from stall 9 behind Daytona Lady last time and that's best ignored but there's not much wiggle room off this mark.

Often front-runner; course winner over 7f last June and gained her fifth success when winning at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) five starts ago; behind Barmyblade when third over this C&D before a lesser effort at Thirsk 11 days ago; could bounce back in this lower grade.

Form & Verdict
Suited by the strong gallop when scoring at Thirsk (7f, good to firm; 11-1) in April, but has struggled to make much of an impact since at Wolverhampton or Leicester; needs to bounce back to form to figure from 2lb above that winning mark.

Both wins on AW, the latest over this trip at Wolverhampton in February; outpaced dropping to 6f at Redcar (fifth of ten, beaten approx 5l) a fortnight ago, so returning to 7f should suit; place chance from a competitive mark.
