Won three times in 2015 and tends to like some give in the ground so will be suited by likely conditions though has not run for 534 days. Market may guide expectations on return to track.
Ffos Las maiden winner in August and readily took 1m2f handicap back there the next month on soft ground. Returns now 7lb higher but could easily remain progressive.
Two wins from seven starts last year, both over this trip, one on turf at Ripon and on final start at Lingfield on the AW. Has 3lb more to burden in first start back.
Hasn't scored in a dozen runs and not looking liable to end the sequence in three starts, falling down the weights however though so not totally out of things.
Maiden winner at Chelmsford in December and winning start to handicap career at Newcastle in February, both over this trip. Looks progressive and chance to shine if handling turf.
Maiden winner at Catterick on debut over 7f in the autumn (soft), has found things too hot in Group company in two further starts since, including 1,000 Guineas latest. This is more her level and looks a contender.
Grabbed a Leicester maiden win over 7f (good-to-firm) from three wins last term, was competitive each time and is very much respected with top trainer in good form ahead of this return.
Forecasts
High Hopes (15/8), Indulged (10/3), Imshivalla (13/2), Berengaria (7/1), Ce La Vie (15/2), Vogueatti (10/1), Lahayeb (16/1)
High Hopes looked to be progressive in her final two outings last season at Ffos Las and should continue to go the right way now coming back to action. She is a key player in this. Berengaria is another with the potential for better and her trainer is in useful form while Lahayeb should relish these conditions if retaining her ability off a long layoff. Vogueatti is a player if handling turf but this might to CE LA VIE, who has her sights lowered quite dramatically to a more realistic level. She was a good maiden winner at Catterick and will find this much more to her liking than the Group race she's run in since.
