Form & Verdict
Handicapper quick to ease off this winter and things fell ideally from a wide stall at Lingfield ten days ago, having previously bumped into one there over 6f; a 5lb rise demands more but she may well be up to the job in a handicap lacking depth.

Returns to turf for the first time in a year on a more sensible rating; issues at the start have been costing her of late and much will depend on how she gets away from the outside stall.

Tough filly who took time to find her form again but won two in a row in early spring, over C&D (overcame a wide draw) and at Chelmsford (5f), and subsequent defeats came over 6f then very slowly away here in April; form claims.

Form & Verdict
Two wins, a second, a third and three fourths to his name in seven runs over C&D and boasts a decent record at this time of the years; chased home a subsequent winner under Jack Callan here a fortnight ago off the same mark and goes on the shortlist.

9yo who has had 16 wins on AW, in January most recently; sole turf win (from 19 attempts) was at Yarmouth in 2022 but he came within a neck of another in a classified at same track (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago, which was the first time this year that he's worn his usual cheekpieces; has a shout if that form is repeated.
