J: Charlie Bennett

C&D winner for Mick Appleby; improved run by run for her new stable, successful in a Ffos Las handicap three weeks ago (7.4f, heavy); 3lb rise manageable but this looks a deeper event.

Built upon low-key stable debut when third of six at Chepstow (7f, soft) this month; won't be far away if in similar form again here but modest 1-18 strike-rate reduces her appeal.

0-13 (placed four times on turf from 5f-7.5f); acts on Tapeta but not yet proven on Polytrack; drops 2lb after latest Wolverhampton defeat (6f, Tapeta) and has the ability to have a say from this mark.

Unsuited by soft ground when a beaten favourite 18 days ago and now 0-11, but her close third at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) two starts ago was a good effort and she should be okay back on Tapeta.

Sole win (from 13 attempts) came off this mark at Chepstow (7f, soft) last September; however, unable to match that form on her next four starts last season and she returns from a break minus cheekpieces.

Off the mark at the ninth attempt when winning a 7f handicap at Chepstow last month (soft ground; cheekpieces first time); fair sixth at Bath next time and latest heavy defeat at Ffos Las defeat excusable on account of the testing going; others are still more appealing.

Most races over shorter, off the mark over 7f at Chepstow (soft; first-time cheekpieces) this month but stamina didn't seem to be a problem back over 1m when a close sixth of 11 at Bath since; thereabouts.

Eight-race maiden who was only beaten 2l when fourth of nine on handicap debut at Wolverhampton AW in April, but not so good in four runs since; hood worn when last of nine at Wolverhampton AW is dispensed with and it looks like it is back to the drawing board.
