J: Jason Hart

T: Ewan Whillans

His six wins, including two here, have all been gained over further; won at Redcar (2m) on his penultimate start and his latest fifth over 1m6f wasn't a bad effort; this is winnable if he handles the drop back in trip.

J: David Nolan

T: Ewan Whillans

Beat his three rivals fairly comfortably when back on turf here (2m, good to firm) three weeks ago and is evidently in good nick but a recent 4lb rise might be enough to leave this 10yo vulnerable.

Form & Verdict
Ex-French filly who capitalised on a reduced mark when gaining a first win at the 14th attempt in 1m6f handicap here last month; back up 4lb but another bold showing is on the cards with this return to 2m a likely plus.

Sole win from 33 starts came on the AW at Wolverhampton (around 2m) in October; well-held third on her last two starts, including over C&D in May, but cheekpieces may be able to help; each-way chance.
