Front-running filly who ran creditably at Ayr last time when bidding for a hat-trick (maiden previously); remains in form and has a strong record (2112) under Lewis Chalkley; solid chance.

Bang-in-form filly who won from the front under Lewis Chalkley here (1m, good to firm) and at Carlisle (7f, good) last month; also effective on good to soft (unraced on soft); likely to given this a good shot.

Off the mark at the 15th attempt when making all under Lewis Chalkley in an Ayr apprentice handicap (1m, good to firm) nine days ago; 4lb well in and dropping in trip shouldn't be a problem, but whether she will be allowed her own way again is debatable.
