Handles most ground and she's tactically versatile; has been generally reliable this season and she won in a tight finish at Windsor (1m) in August before a creditable third at York (1m1f) last month; still looks on a workable mark and she's respected with cheekpieces reapplied.

Well beaten in Listed race and AW handicap on final two runs in November; however, a break may have helped and she's of interest judged on her two efforts last summer (1m1f/8.3f), when shaping as though 1m2f would suit.

Lightly raced 4yo who has a patchy profile and finished last at Carlisle (6f, soft) four weeks ago; however, the ground may not have suited and prior to that she kept on well for close third there (6f, good to soft), hinting this return to 7f could be a positive; not discounted on AW debut.

High in weights when first handicapping, following a Beverley novice win (about 7f) as 2yo, but was down 10lb from her opening mark when a never-nearer sixth at Catterick (6f, good) last week on second run for yard; this stiff test looks sure to suit and she has a good run in her.

Three-time C&D winner last year, making all on two occasions and ridden prominently on the other; much less effective when ridden very patiently on all four appearances this season but her keeping-on fifth here (1m2f, soft) last month was a big step back in the right direction; well handicapped now and needs close attention in the betting.
