Makes her first appearance for a new yard with a hood fitted for the first time having won a maiden last year then struggled to build on that in handicaps. Needs to prove that she is on a workable mark after a lay-off.
Hasn't shown the same form since changing stables last year and need to show more for this handler despite an increasingly attractive handicap mark and conditions to suit.
Lightly-raced type who makes her handicap debut here having improve with each of her four runs in maidens. Step up in trip here should be a positive and this initial mark looks like it should be fine for her. One to consider.
Most of her best form is on the all-weather, but she has also proved herself to be a formidable opponent on the turf on occasion, and is now back down to her last winning handicap mark. Interesting.
Ran well in two minor maidens last year, winning one of them, but performed as expected when sent off unfancied at Newmarket on handicap debut. Looks on too high a mark on the basis of that performance. Hood fitted.
Won off a lower mark than this at Newcastle for her only win so far, difficult to fancy on the basis of more recent performances and is best watched.
Continued her run of second place finishes when narrowly denied at Brighton last week (1m, good to firm). Probably would have won if she had settled better early, and she has to have a big chance off the same mark.

Forecasts
Al Nafoorah (9/4), Totally Magic (3/1), Cheerfilly (7/2), Dark Intention (5/1), Sepal (9/1), Rinaria (12/1), Lozah (12/1), Beatbybeatbybeat (14/1)
Perhaps this can finally be the race in which AL NAFOORAH gets off the mark. Ed Dunlop's clearly talented filly has finished second on all four of her starts in handicap company so far, and remains on the same mark as when unlucky at Brighton last week. She probably would have won that race if she had settled a little better in the early stages, and if she's able to do that now then she has to be the one to beat. Dark Intention ran well at York on Saturday and has to have a big chance here off an unchanged handicap rating if being turned round so quickly by Lawrence Mullaney, while Totally Magic looks very interestingly handicapped.
