Slow starts have been a recurring theme since she moved into handicaps but she has hinted that her mark is in range; cheekpieces added and Eireann Cagney is booked, so there can be encouragement for an improved showing tonight.

Has run well over C&D in the past but Hamilton is her spiritual home and she has added another two wins at that venue this summer, the latest a comfortable front-running success (6f, good to firm) in Class 6 company five days ago; 5lb higher over an extra furlong on a different track and in a higher grade so this may not be her day.

Not in the same form as he was in May and June last year but he's on a lowly mark now and, after being pushed along from some way out, he did stick well to the task when fourth over C&D (good to firm) recently; form case to be made down in grade.

Yet to be placed after six starts this season (5f-7f) but won off a much higher mark last spring, at Ripon (6f, good to soft), and may yet turn things around; worth a glance in the betting.

Usually misses the break and can pull hard, as was the case on her 5f comeback at the weekend; capable of popping up if the stars align, as when winning a 0-50 easily over C&D last summer, but she's hard to recommend.
