Banging the door down in search of her second win, and although she seemed ill at ease on the Epsom downhill last week, she still ran well in defeat. Overall strike rate a concern, but that aside, ticks plenty of boxes here (acts on track) and has to go well.
Looked ready to win after her second at Leicester in May but couldn't build on that at Haydock last time, despite going off favourite. Return to a stiffer track may help and yard do well with the few runners they send here.
Wins in her turn but despite being well backed lately, is finding winning hard. Step back up to 6f probably a good move based on recent efforts and does handle uphill finishes, so has that going for her. Not discounted, but others look stronger.
Managed to get herself beaten at long odds-on at Bath two starts back (went off 1-5f) but made no mistake at Lingfield last time, showing good speed to make all. Possibly not straightforward but clearly has ability and may progress again.
May have found the 1m trip too far last time but even so, it was a moderate effort and she'd been well beaten in previous starts (including over this trip). Not progressing and may find this a little too tough.
No win in 11 starts now and not really going forward, worth another try at 6f after latest staying on effort over 5f at Hamilton but didn't look like winning there, and others hold stronger overall profiles.
Has been kept busy since her win at Ayr in early June, but judging on latest effort it might be starting to catch up with her. Drop back to 6f may help, but now on a new high mark too, and needs to progress again.
Forecasts
Storm Cry (9/4), Rely On Me (11/4), Dealer's Choice (3/1), Honeysuckle Lil (8/1), Maureb (12/1), Sea Of Green (16/1), Hamidans Girl (20/1)
The one that looks the most progressive here is top weight STORM CRY, who is likely to appreciate the return to a stiffer track and this drop in grade can see her back on the scoresheet. Dealer's Choice is hard to weigh up but there's no denying how easily she on last time and a follow-up can't be ruled out.
Rely On Me and Honeysuckle Lil can fight out the bronze.
