Has won two of her last three on the AW, taking overall record on synthetics to 6-14; last time she dictated from the front at Wolverhampton (4lb lower); seemed to handle turf fine in three previous attempts, though not on ground this slow.

Promise on turf last summer and has made good progress on AW since November, winning five times here (three over today's distance); came up short over C&D last month and the handicapper may now have her measure.

Placed over C&D in November and a repeat of that form would bring her right into the mix; two subsequent efforts less good but she is better drawn today and a revival could be imminent.

Back to form with a bang when readily landing a C&D handicap last week, coming from off the pace to score by 2l; has to give weight away but he still has more to recommend him than most.

8yo who is without a win since August 2024; however, he was beaten just a nose in a classified here (5.7f, firm) in July and 6f stretched him at Windsor last time; this seven-time course winner could play a leading role back here and back down in trip.

Pipped by Jackie Brown in a 5.7f classified at Bath last time, with Sisters In The Sky finishing strongly another nose back; that was so nearly his first win for two years (8-81 overall) but coming fourth in 2022 was easily his best result from five visits here.

Off the mark at the 18th attempt with a last-gasp success in a 0-50 classified race over C&D last month; no impact back in a handicap here ten days later but he was hampered early on and still looks feasibly treated on his penultimate form; not ruled out.
