Form & Verdict
Back from long absence when making all off a reduced mark on stable debut at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) three weeks ago; that was a narrow success but she held off a clear second and a 3lb rise looks fair; respected in her bid to make it 2-2 for James Owen.

J: Mason Paetel

T: James Owen

Rejuvenated with James Owen, reeling off an AW hat-trick in January and making it four on the bounce when scoring at Catterick (6f, good) in May; only just missed out at Doncaster last month and it was 5f when beaten favourite at Sandown last time; now 3lb higher but she did look promising early in her career and Mason Paetel's claim helps too.

J: Luke Morris

T: James Owen

Only narrowly failed when bidding for a five-timer last week at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) and she's 3lb well-in on the back of that effort; whether she wants the ground slower than good is questionable, and her improvement has come at 6f.

T: James Owen

Rampant mare who completed a four-timer when coming back from a break to score at Catterick (6f, good) last month; that made it 4-4 for this yard and she's still competitively weighted on form for her previous stable; impossible to ignore.

In good form at Lingfield during the winter and is a bit of specialist over 6f there (112121), but he has won over this C&D; latest Kempton effort not hard to forgive given his record at that track and could easily bounce back; shortlisted.

Form & Verdict
Four-time winner (6f/7f), who returned after 117 days off with a close second over C&D 17 days ago; that was eyecatching from off the pace and she's an interesting contender off an unchanged mark.
