Seemingly aided by new tongue-tie for new stable this summer, most notably when coming from off the pace for convincing C&D (good) success; not quite as good at Stratford last time and not sure to be suited by rain but remains very much of interest.

Free-going mare whose latest game, dominating Fakenham success took her record to 3-5 in 2m contests there; 3lb rise doesn't look prohibitive, but a best RPR of 81 going right-handed versus 104 anticlockwise tempers greater confidence.

Free-going front-runner who won twice over C&D last season (soft/good to soft), both times by wide margins in modest mares' races; probably went off too hard when well beaten at Huntingdon last month but steadied the ship with respectable Flat run 24 days ago; sure to be suited by return to this track but stiil needs to prove she can cope with a mark this high.
