Four-time course winner including in this race last year for another trainer; has refused to race on a couple of occasions, but 2lb below her last winning mark and ran even better than it may have looked when fourth of 11 back here (7f) last month; comes with risks attached, but capable if things fall right.

Has refused to race three times this year, twice at this track including behind several of these rivals on latest appearance (favourite); she was in a good mood when winning over C&D three days before that but there's no guarantee she'll be in the same frame of mind. |

Once rated in the high 90s during his time with Martyn Meade; has fallen in excess of 20lb since reappearing from a lengthy absence; some encouragement is drawn from his most recent effort (fifth), even though that still leaves him needing more to reverse placings with Sandret. |

Only had the five starts and looks better on AW than turf on the evidence so far, including a win here (6f) just over a year ago; third in both handicaps over 7f on Tapeta at the start of the year and although not seen in eight months, she has gone well fresh before; one for the shortlist.

6f course novice winner in September and shaped well back from a break when keeping on for a never-nearer third on 7f Southwell handicap debut a week ago; much less exposed than today's opposition and looks capable of winning off this mark; same trainer/jockey took this race last year. |
