Three-time winner in 2016 who regained the winning thread by narrowly beating Black Bess in a tight three-runner handicap at Brighton (7f, good) last time out in May. No margin for error off present mark in a deeper race.
Most of her winning has come on the AW but has won and been effective on turf. Good effort when third at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) despite racing keenly but question marks against her as she drops in trip.
Won three times last season on fast ground and, though below par initially this season, has finished a close-up third in each of her last two starts at Goodwood and Bath. Just a suspicion that she's a pound or two too high in the weights.
Leicester maiden winner who has improved for the introduction of a visor, scoring at Brighton and Bath within three days of each other last month. Clearly thriving at present and, despite a heavily revised mark, a hat-trick looks a distinct possibility.
A winner of 6f handicaps on the AW and at Goodwood (good) already this year and lost nothing in defeat when touched off by Roman Holiday over 7f at Newmarket last time. Return to 6f will be appreciated but mark continues to rise.
Had placed nine times in her first 13 starts but it took a change in headgear for her to deservedly open her account in a first-time visor at Chepstow (7f good to firm) last month. Questions to answer on first attempt at 6f but jockey booking obviously a positive.
Doncaster debut winner 13 months ago for David O'Meara but has drawn a blank in eight starts for this yard, most recently when a well-held third behind Mabs Cross at Haydock (5f, good to firm). Mark is falling all the time but others still more convincing.
Plenty of racing for her age but her only two wins have come on the AW over 7f. Unlucky in running when fourth from this mark at Wolverhampton last time but questions to answer dropping back to 6f on turf.
Unfancied and green when well beaten over 1m on her debut but appreciated the shorter trip when getting up late to score over 6f at Wolverhampton last time. Open to improvement as she makes a turf and a handicap debut.

Forecasts
Angel Of Darkness (7/2), Carpe Diem Lady (7/2), Belledesert (4/1), Tundra (5/1), Carolinae (11/2), Jersey Breeze (15/2), Staintondale Lass (8/1), Think Fashion (10/1), Beck And Call (10/1), Dainty Dandy (16/1), Mia Cara (22/1), Magic Approach (33/1)
Headgear has galvanised both Jersey Breeze and Carpe Diem Lady to win their most recent starts and both have to be respected in their current mood but TUNDRA could take some stopping. Roger Varian's filly left her juvenile form well behind when winning at Lingfield on her reappearance and there appears much more to come from her as she goes handicapping with Silvestre De Sousa now taking over in the saddle.
