C&D winner (good to firm) off 6lb lower last July but fourth was the best placing she achieved in five AW handicaps earlier this year; off 11 weeks; others make more obvious appeal.

4lb higher than her last winning mark but Jack Callan's claim will help in that respect and it was a good run last time at Wolverhampton (finished upside Exquisitive Acclaim) given she was never ideally positioned out the back; could go well provided stall 11 isn't a killer.

Form & Verdict
Did well to come from behind and make a successful debut at Wolverhampton in December; bettered that form when second under a penalty at Kempton (also 7f, AW) on his reappearance three weeks ago; now makes his turf/handicap debut and this promising sort, from the family of Derby winner Pour Moi, should be suited by the step up to 1m.

Dual AW winner but 0-4 on turf and patchy form in three starts this year; didn't stay 1m2f last time so this drop in trip is a plus but others are more persuasive.

Much the best of his three qualifying runs came when third over C&D (good to firm; 200-1) at the start of last month; didn't get home upped to around 1m2f at York (good to firm) on his handicap debut a fortnight later; chance rests on this track again bringing out the best in him.

Always behind in the boiling cauldron of a Royal Ascot handicap last week; progressive otherwise and still has good stats, being 9-22 overall, 2-3 this term and 6-11 over 7f (1-1 over C&D); however, has to overcome a 3lb penalty for the Group 3 win achieved against her own sex in May.

Progressive mare who scored for the eighth time when beating 18-runner field at Newmarket (7f, good) at last month's Craven meeting; might need some luck in running if the field gravitates to the stands' side but thoroughly deserves this first crack at a Pattern race, with the ceiling of her ability probably yet to be reached.
