0-8 but placed four times including when third of nine in a 0-80 at Sandown (5f, good) 16 days ago; a repeat of that performance would bring him into it.

Poor effort last time will need forgiving but he's always been capable of the odd stinker; better drawn than for two runs here early in the year and it wouldn't be a shock to see him bounce back.

Only 1-14 but he's a strong traveller who only narrowly missed out at Lingfield (6f) and Goodwood (5f, good) before a midfield finish at Windsor where never really involved; has a big effort in him.

Record of 1-13 but he's been knocking on the door at Lingfield (6f, AW) and Goodwood (5f, good) this spring; up another 2lb but this strong traveller was only just caught last time and the first three pulled clear in that race; key player.

Form & Verdict
Five wins last year, including one over C&D, and took advantage of a drop in the weights when ending a 14-race losing run at Yarmouth (5f, good; made all) six days ago; has a 5lb penalty to carry and she is likely to face competition for the lead, but respected nonetheless.

Won at her beloved Yarmouth (5f, good to soft; from 4lb lower) last October; hasn't been at her best since returning to AW recently; this is a fraction easier and she could strip fitter but others are more appealing.

Front-runner who scored at Chepstow (5f, good) and over C&D (good to firm) in May; runner-up in three of her four starts since, including at Chester (5f, good) a fortnight ago (two of today's rivals behind); could take some catching if able to bag the stands' rail early.
