Form & Verdict
She had been threatening prior to breaking her duck in a C&D handicap (Hello Luna second) last month; ended up challenging wide when a close third at Wolverhampton on Monday (hung right) and that effort suggested this mark was still in range; respected.

Both of her wins have been over 5f at Lingfield (AW), the most recent coming in February off 2lb lower, and she ran well when third of seven there over 6f last month; respectable effort at Musselburgh (5f, soft) 25 days ago and has place claims back on quicker ground.

0-7 on turf but none of them were in handicaps and she's proved consistent on AW since, winning two 5f Lingfield races at the start of the year; needs a bit more for the return to turf, especially if the ground eases, but sharp tracks clearly suit and her fitness is a plus; yard also runs Wheels Of Fire.

Just one win from 17 starts, often compromising his chance by refusing to settle; tried in a hood last time but fluffed the start and still raced freely; tumbling down the weights but a risky proposition back at 5f.

Has dropped a fair way down the weights over the last year or so, but looked back in prime form when scooting clear to win readily by 4l at Southwell (5f, AW) last week; also suited by good to firm turf and is 4lb ahead of the handicapper under his 5lb penalty.

Losing run stands at 15 and a few fingers have been burned during that spell but this speedy front-runner is well up to winning off this mark; back at his optimum trip this afternoon and drops into 0-70 company; ideally drawn and a big run looks on the cards.

Off the mark at the ninth attempt when landing a 5f handicap on the turf course here last August; subsequent Sandown disappointment easily excusable on account of the soft ground; not fully exposed and showed promise on AW (Tapeta) for former yard; tricky draw and five-month absence to contend with today.
