First run back since October 2015 at Kempton in March resulted in a sound beating and though she can come on for that performance, it would be surprising to see her improve enough to take this.
Has been doing most of her racing over hurdles recently, where she has achieved minor success, but hasn't managed to win on the Flat since 2014 and looks set for a minor role in this company.
Was in fine form last year, achieving a four-timer before finishing with a second place finish to a runaway winner. First run back was slightly disappointing but it could be that as with last year she is taking a while to come to hand, not helped by the fact she is still 5lb higher than her last winning mark.
Came into her own when switched to handicaps last year after some unsuccessful attempts at maidens. Up 10lb compared to her opening mark but though that is a big ask on her first start of the year, she looks to be a genuine improver.
Ran well in a few races last season before being simply outclassed when stepped up to Listed company in October. May have needed her first run back at Chelmsford last month and has definite claims if returning to the best of last season's form.
Hat-trick seeker who has enjoyed recent success at Doncaster and Catterick and has proven herself to be ground-versatile. Escapes a penalty for the second of those victories (which came last Saturday), and though this is tougher obviously that is big plus.
Off the mark in handicap company earlier in the month having not quite had the tactical speed for shorter when sent over mile-long trips last year. Up 4lb for that first win, which came at Pontefract, but is still improving and could defy that rise.
Looking for her third handicap victory in a row and is up another 6lb for her win over 2f shorter here last time out. That could stop her hat-trick attempt here but could be in the battle for a place.
Forecasts
Melodic Motion (11/8), Darkroom Angel (4/1), Monaco Rose (11/2), Notice (7/1), Comedy School (17/2), Pacharana (16/1), Jelly Monger (22/1), Allumage (25/1)
This can go to MONACO ROSE. Richard Fahey's hat-trick seeker escapes a penalty for a recent Catterick victory and with the improvement she has recnelty shown, in addition to the versatility, holds the most convincing claims on offer here. Melodic Motion is another improver who has enjoyed her recent step up in trip, while Comedy School finds herself pitched in at a far more suitable level now.
