Won at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) and followed up from the front at Wolverhampton (9.4f), albeit narrowly; however, ground slower than good is looking an issue.

Improved to win at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) and followed up from the front at Wolverhampton (9.4f), albeit by the skin of her teeth; only 2lb higher so remains on a competitive mark, but slow ground hasn't looked ideal previously.

Gained a first win at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in September; has resumed in excellent form, not enjoying the smoothest of passages when beaten a short head in another 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap 23 days ago; a likely player back up in trip.

Kept on well when making the breakthrough over C&D (from 1lb lower) last September; less effective since, losing a shoe when only fourth of five at Kempton (1m3f); it's possible that she'll return fresher off a 167-day absence.

Dual winner on the AW since joining this stable; pulled hard and unfortunate not to finish closer at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) four days ago, denied a clear passage; may settle better with the hood back on (visor removed) and is one to consider seriously.

J: Oliver Stammers

T: Jessica Macey

Sole win from 18 starts came at Southwell (7f, AW) last June for Marco Botti; solid fourth of 12 in a higher grade than this at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) two starts back and a wide trip can be given as an excuse for a lesser effort on the AW over 1m two weeks ago; could bounce back.

Only 1-17 and the win, over 7f here last summer, was for Marco Botti; however, good runs on either side of a break at Doncaster (7f), latterly close up in a race not run to suit; stays 1m and probably needs it now.

J: David Probert

T: Michael Herrington

5yo who has won his last three starts and the second leg was a dominant display at Wolverhampton (8.6f); didn't have much in hand at Carlisle (1m) last time but he hit a personal best with that brave success and still looks feasibly treated off 4lb higher; strongly respected back in trip.

C&D win last September came off 3lb higher; always deep from stall 12 when running below market expectations here a fortnight ago when behind Baloo's Blues and should fare better.

J: Jack Callan

T: Mark Loughnane

His two wins (from 21 races) came in a row last year, latterly in this race; 1lb lower today and second at Chepstow on latest start was his best show this season, so he's one for the shortlist despite a wide draw.
