Ran well when fourth in two Group 3s (7f, good to soft/soft) last summer, but hasn't been at the top of her game this season and was out the back on handicap debut at Haydock (7f, good) in May; record is now 1-8 and has something to prove after a break.

Form & Verdict
Unexposed filly who won a Kempton novice (6f, AW) last autumn and completed a double when scoring on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (tongue-tie added) in April; 4lb higher back on turf after another break but she's open to more progress and should be unfazed by this step back up in trip; respected.

Couple of absences since winning a 6f handicap here last spring off a 2lb higher mark; the return to Tapeta is an obvious plus point but she's very hit and miss, and will need to improve somewhat on this season's two efforts after two months off.

Both wins at 6f on the AW, either side of a winter break as a 2yo and 3yo; seemingly had stamina limitations back over 7f in the autumn and, while she should come on for her recent reappearance at Newmarket, this is a stiff track on which to prove her staying power.

Acts on good to firm and soft; won over 7f at Catteick and Musselburgh this summer and she had a tough assignment in big field at York (Class 2) two weeks ago; still looks feasibly treated on her penultimate form and has possibilities back in calmer waters.

Acts on most ground; has won three handicaps at Musselburgh this season and gained her first Listed success when scoring at Chester (7f, good) in June, but she was below that level at Pontefract (1m) last month; has a better draw than she did when down the field in this contest last year but is now 11lb higher than when last seen in handicap company.

Could hardly be coming into this in better form, winning four of her last five starts including another Listed event at Chester (7f, good) ten days ago; still favoured on these terms despite her 3lb penalty and although the stiffer mile is one small question mark, she is a major player nonetheless.

This 5yo is in the form of her life at present, gaining a third Musselburgh handicap win of the season when easily seeing off seven rivals 37 days ago; had a wide stall as a an excuse for a slightly below-par effort over the extended 7f here prior to that and she went close here last season; on the shortlist.

Clearcut winner of her handicap/seasonal debut on Kempton AW (7f) in May; held her own at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood in next two runs and she didn't have great track position when down the field at York (7f, good to firm) two weeks ago; needs to step up again after that last run but she still has potential and this is a drop back in grade.
