One of her six wins has been over C&D; close second here on her penultimate start and should go close if able to replicate that performance.

Having dropped down the weights she returned to form with a close second at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) a fortnight; this course winner is fine at today's trip and can be in the shake-up if backing up that latest effort.

Hat-trick in 2023 included a win over C&D, but losing run now up to 16 and he could probably do with the ground easing.

Winner of two of his last three starts, the latest when making all and just holding on from 2lb lower at Haydock (1m, good) 15 days ago; extra furlong does pose a question, but he may again enjoy the run of the race.

Two wins over C&D but his mark suffered after a comfortable win at Sandown (1m, good) around a year ago; handicapper's releasing his grip and last time's fifth at Ffos Las was a step in the right direction, however; might go well.

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Tony Carroll

Won three over this trip last year, twice from the front on turf, latterly off a 3lb lower mark; well held in two runs back but this is less competitive under Billy Loughnane and he may well be able to get his own way in this smaller field; possibilities if so.

Form & Verdict
Recent form a bit patchy, but his second of 11 at Bath (1m, good; first-time visor) on his penultimate start took his record off today's mark to 313212; does most of his racing over shorter these days, but shouldn't have a problem with this trip.

Four-time winner, split between turf and AW; last success was off 2lb higher at Salisbury (1m) last August but he's been out of sorts in last three runs and needs a major revival; reapplied cheekpieces replace a visor.

Form & Verdict
Ended a 14-race losing run in emphatic style at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) a week ago, appearing to benefit from a drop in trip; still feasibly treated after a 5lb rise and respected if coping with dropping another furlong.
