A two time winner (1m1f & 1m2f), and racing from a mark of 69 which falls between winning marks (65 & 70). Often races close to the pace, and has been competing over 1m recently, and whether a stiff 1m2f suits her perfectly is open to discussion.
Won three time last year (twice on Tapeta over the extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton), but has been given a five month break having last raced on Boxing Day. Ground conditions will hold no fears if fit enough to do herself justice.
Largely consistent despite winning just once under rules in 18 starts. That success came at Lingfield over this trip in November from a 2lb lower mark. Off since late December after a productive spell on the AW and a runner up on her last three starts on turf during July, August and September 2016.
18 race maiden and campaigned exclusively on the AW since October without any startlingly obvious signs she could break that tag. However, her turf runners up efforts over this trip to Best Tamayuz (Nottingham, May 2016) and Stoneboat Bill (Leicester, September 2016) make her a major player in a weak race.
Her 7F Newmarket debut fourth in October 2016 was the pick of her three runs in maidens, and she might just be sharper for her reappearance at Windsor recently. Steps up in trip for her handicap debut allocated an opening mark of 65.
12 race maiden, but regularly placed on the AW during the winter, and inching up the weights without winning (now rated 64). Clearly no great shakes, but this is a moderate contest so could be thereabouts if back to her Leicester October form (1m) on turf.
Big prices and didn't finish in front of too many in three rather swift starts in maidens over the course of a month in late summer/autumn of 2016. Upped in trip for her handicap debut from an opening mark of just 56.

Livella Fella (7/4), Bonnie Arlene (10/3), Rubis (9/2), Babamunchkin (7/1), Inflexiball (8/1), Al Hawraa (10/1), Navajo Thunder (14/1), La Havrese (16/1)
A race which makes little appeal for punters. Babamunchkin looks the most obvious candidate to improve on her handicap debut now upped in trip, whilst those fillies with more form are consistent enough, but very much infrequent winners; Rubis an obvious case in point. Therefore, a chance is taken on the 18 race maiden INFLEXIBALL. She has a couple of runs over this trip on turf in 2016 which would give her strong claims if replicated and may offer more value in the market than some of the other less exposed, but seemingly moderate types.
