Third at Carlisle off this exact mark last time and effective at 5-6f on soft and good; she has a tendency to race up with the pace, first-time cheekpieces are applied, and she lines up on a weight below where she last proved successful — solid claims here.

SR 50 suggests ability but 7/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Failed to show her best at Carlisle last time, well beaten in a handicap, and without a win in her last five starts; effective at 6-7f and probably acts on any ground, but needs to step forward from what she has been showing recently to feature here.

She landed this contest 12 months ago and is effective at 5-6f on soft and good to firm, but her last five outings have all been well below that level; trainer results have been modest recently, and she needs something to click to feature here.

Returning from a 14-week absence and fitted with a first-time visor, he offered little at Southwell last time when below form off a 2lb higher mark; his more worthwhile efforts have come on all-weather surfaces, making this turf assignment an additional question mark.
