Form & Verdict
Made all for clearcut success on handicap debut here (9.4f) in January and came second on both subsequent AW starts (9.4f/1m4f); absent since lesser effort on turf two months ago and her tendency to race too freely is a nagging concern but this return to Tapeta is sure to suit and she remains unexposed over the trip.

Better on AW (form figures 1223) than turf; returning from a two-month absence when weakening into third at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in July; latest Yarmouth effort (1m2f) a step backwards; needs to rediscover peak form on first visit to Southwell.

Placed off today's mark behind two progressive 3yos at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) last month and may benefit from this drop back in trip but still needs to prove she's fully effective on turf.

Form & Verdict
Lighty raced for her age and made quite promising seasonal debut when third at Lingfield (1m2f) in April but ought to have been well suited by the good to soft turf when below that form at Ffos Las (1m4f; favourite) last month and has a point to prove here.

Not quite at best on good to soft turf last month and now 0-5 this season but kept on well for third over C&D two starts ago and is now 1lb lower; holds obvious each-way claims if judged on that effort.

Goes well on slow ground as she showed when winning easily at Windsor (1m2f, soft) in July last year, the last time she contested a 0-65; has continued to run well since then including when third of ten at Kempton (1m3f, AW) three weeks ago (winner has gone in again since); respected.

Five-race maiden; shaped well when fifth on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in July and ran to a similar level in a 1m2f novice at Lingfield last month; stepping back up in trip could suit and she should still have more to offer.

Latest of her three wins came at Newmarket (1m, good; made all) last October off a 3lb higher mark than today's; mostly below her best this year but she was a respectable third last time; will likely face competition for the lead from Tronido.

Well handicapped on her front-running win at Newmarket (1m, good) last October, but she's been out of sorts this season and was last of six at Windsor last time; has something to prove and needs reapplied blinkers to make a difference back at this trip.

On a handy mark on her best form for Roger Varian (9.4f/1m4f); however, she made it 0-7 when tailed off at 33-1 on last month's stable and seasonal debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW); wind op since; transformation needed.
