Form & Verdict
Only beat two rivals when scoring at Lingfield (2m, good to firm) in June and was safely held in deeper race the following month but last year's 2m1f course win on heavy ground proves she's well equipped for this test.

Usually consistent, but her modest effort at Goodwood (2m, soft) last time was disappointing given she does handle any ground; needs to bounce back from that.

Something of a Wolverhampton specialist (3-5) though he has won on Polytrack at Kempton; the drop to 1m4f didn't help last time so the return to a longer distance should help, but his high draw may not be ideal even over this trip.
