Sole handicap win was over 6f (good to firm) at Ayr last year, though she went very close from a mark of 79 at Ripon later in the season. The handicapper has been in control largely since then, but she came back to form last time over this trip at Doncaster and from the same mark she has claims.
Meets Rose Marmara on the same terms as when a short head behind her at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) last time. That was her best effort since winning at Newcastle last season when with Iain Jardine. Cheekpieces swapped for visor here and she can again be very competitive.
Scored over this trip at Chester (good to firm) a couple of years ago for Bryan Smart and now has her first run for this yard. Dropped 4lb to a career low mark and a market check is suggested to gauge any confidence in her today.
Hasn't managed to add to her Goodwood debut win from 13 months ago and given that her best effort this season was first time, it seems that she may be best when fresh. Was tried over 7f last time but beaten 4L and now back to the minimum from a 2lb lower mark. Visor back on and represents top connections at this track.
Scored over C&D last year (good to firm) from a 9lb higher mark and recent drops in the weights have seen her get close to her first win since, including last time when a 2L third at Carlisle (5f, good to soft). If the cheekpieces are effective second time around then she could have a major say today.
Showed a bit of promise in the second of her three maidens when making the frame at Ayr (6f, good) in May. Now goes handicapping from a mark that looks fair enough, with a 7lb claim off her back and dropped for the first time to a trip that pedigree suggests really will suit. Very interesting.
Her Beverley maiden win on debut (5f, good to firm) last year remains her sole success and she has not really come close to overcoming the challenges set by the handicapper in six more runs. Has now dropped 13lb since her first handicap run and headgear fitted today for the first time. Market check suggested.
Came good at the eighth attempt at Catterick (5f, good to firm) last month, but the subsequent rise in the handicap has accounted for her in two more runs. Now 3lb higher than that win, but looking exposed and will need to pull out a bit more to win again here.
Sole win was on the All Weather (5f) in February from a 4lb lower mark and she comes here after finishing third in a Wolverhampton seller last time. From 3lb out of the handicap she has a tough task and others are preferred.

Forecasts
Rose Eclair (11/4), Kachess (4/1), Spirit Of Rosanna (4/1), Rose Marmara (5/1), Glyder (6/1), Toni's A Star (6/1), Bay Station (8/1), Savannah Beau (9/1), Ayresome Angel (12/1), Hot Hannah (12/1), Oriental Lilly (16/1), Teepee Time (25/1)
Rose Marmara and Savannah Beau both look capable of going close here, while Spirit Of Rosanna would be very interesting if the ground turns to the soft side of good. Bay Station has dropped to a mark from which she can be competitive and Toni's A Star is another well worth consideration, more so if the rains come. One who won't mind either way, however, is ROSE ECLAIR, who looked to be on her way back last time and is on a handy mark. The fly in the ointment could be handicap newcomer Oriental Lilly.
