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.

Multiple staying wins on turf and the AW and she's back on her most recent winning mark, at Nottingham (1m6f, good) in May; put a couple of modest runs in June behind her when a close third of four at Lingfield 25 days ago but likely to need more for this.

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.

Scrambled home by a short head at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) in July and has since gone close over 1m5f here (firm) but was below form when last in action and might be stretched by 1m6f on slow ground.
