Without a win since summer 2024 but her second at Leicester (7f, good) in April was a good effort and she didn't run badly when sixth from awkward draw at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) this month; 2-3 at this track (both wins over C&D in 2022) and may well be the answer.

Very well handicapped on pick of last year's sprint form for Richard Spencer but last month's stable debut was very disappointing and he has stamina to prove on this first 7f attempt; headgear removed.

Did not get competitive at York a fortnight ago but was unlucky not to finish much closer than ninth there (7f, good to firm) on his seasonal debut, and this dual C&D winner has slipped to a very tempting mark.

Three wins on AW (6f to 1m) but the last of them was well over a year ago and she's mainly struggled since, including when beaten 5l over C&D (soft) four weeks ago; that was just her second run of this term, however, and there's a handicapping case to be made.
