Not beaten far a couple of times over C&D early in the year and the switch to first-time blinkers did the trick over 1m4f here a fortnight ago; that was only a 0-50 classified event but this isn't the strongest of handicaps.

Well beaten on latest Flat start in May (2m, turf) but has been placed in two AW handicaps here this year (1m4f/2m) and didn't run badly over hurdles last month; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor; more appealing than most.

A fair winning hurdler/chaser for Gordon Elliott but signed off for that yard out of form and has been beaten a long way on his two runs for current handler; drops into his first classified and needs to show more.

All three wins have come at Brighton (1m2f/1m4f); placed in his last two starts in similar contests at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) and has run well on Tapeta at Southwell; first-time visor replaces the usual blinkers and he has every chance on these terms; high on list.

Two runs on turf produced a pair of fourths, both on good to firm; if she can go on the ground then she would probably have a part to play after some fair efforts on the AW (1m2f-1m4f).

Sole win from 12 starts came over 1m at Southwell in January; mixed results since then, but she had a near miss at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) on her penultimate run and didn't seem to quite get home over 1m4f last time; looks interesting on this drop back in trip and her win was off 4lb higher.
