C&D winner (good) last August and has won twice on the AW since, the latest in a small field at Newcastle (7f) in March; 76-day break since then not a problem having won twice after similar absences; likely to go well.

Largely consistent mare who was third over 6f at Hamilton on her last two appearances; also suited by this longer trip and won't mind if the ground is slower than good; probably won't be far away.

Form & Verdict
Did best of those held up when third at Wolverhampton (8.5f, Tapeta) last month and got up late to win at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) four days ago; carries a 5lb penalty for that success and this drop back to 7f may not be ideal (all six of her wins have been over 1m-1m2f).

J: Molly Keegan-Price

Kept on well for second of 15 over an extended 1m4f at Chester (good) in May but below-par sixth over the same trip at Goodwood since; latest win came over 1m on AW in March, so the significant drop back in trip shouldn't be an issue but it's still hard to be upbeat about her prospects here from 4lb out of the handicap.

Led close home at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in March and has held her form well since (7f-9.4f); should be fine back on turf but current mark demands a career-best performance on this first attempt at 1m4f.
