Close third of six on her Yarmouth debut (6f, good to soft) last May, but she hasn't built on it and now 0-8, the hood making little difference last time; hard to recommend back in trip.

Won at Southwell (6f, AW) in April and was only beaten a head here (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago with a yawning gap back to the rest; 4lb rise not the end of the world and good to soft ground wouldn't be a problem, but another furlong may have been preferable.

Broke her duck in a Southwell handicap last month then bungled the start before seeing little daylight when fourth of 18 at Ascot (6f, good to firm; Fantasy Master third) 19 days ago; looked to finish that event with a fair bit more to give and she's a key player.

Dual C&D winner as part of a hat-trick of 6f wins in May and June, when with Pam Sly; took a step back in the right direction when returning here and 2l third latest; will have a little to prove on slower ground but should be involved if he handles it.

Landed a turf hat-trick for Pam Sly in early summer, going around a stone up the weights; placed efforts here all came off lower marks and he'll need to improve upon his latest C&D run, having since been sold for 6,000gns.

Arrives late on the scene and she cut it fine over this C&D in August against Thunderous Love but that took her record in 6f turf handicaps to three from her last five attempts (all on good to firm; has gone close on good); has run well on Newcastle AW since and the likely strong pace will suit.

Third turf win of a productive summer when edging ahead late on over 6f at Nottingham last month; the fact two fourths is the best she's managed in six previous attempts on AW is a slight concern but has to merit respect in current mood.

Losing run up to 19, but he has dropped a long way in the weights and met all sorts of trouble when fourth of 11 over C&D last time (Starsong second); withdrawn at the start on vet's advice in the race won by Good Earth here ten days ago; worth considering.
