Fared well from low draws at this track last year, including for two wins, and she's been close up at other tracks on two of her four starts this year; drawn high this time but has to be seriously considered.

Both turf wins on Brighton's sharp track but she made up plenty of ground when a never-nearer third in this race (good) last year and it wouldn't surprise to see her return to form after a low-key Southwell run last time, having gone close there on her reappearance the time before.

Won from a similar mark at Lingfield (5f; 8-1) in November; form levels have dipped since finishing third back there in January, failing to beat a single rival the last twice; is 2-4 over C&D, so it's possible that added cheekpieces can rekindle a spark.

Made his breakthrough (16th attempt) with cheekpieces added at Lingfield (5f, good) and followed up with a dominant display over C&D; went up 8lb for that and was behind Antiphon two weeks ago, though soft ground wouldn't have been ideal for him.

Doesn't have a great record fresh so this month's Windsor reappearance isn't hard to forgive; won easily from 2lb lower over C&D (good) last August having made all, but similar tactics won't be easy in this field, especially from the widest stall.
