Winner at Nottingham earlier in the season but struggled off her revised mark since. Return to softer conditions could be in her favour but has a few questions to answer and widest draw not ideal.
Best effort probably in a maiden at Kempton on second start and not managed to get her head in front since. Beaten favourite at Chepstow two starts back in soft ground and beaten favourite again at Wolverhampton last time. Has a bit to prove now; wears a first-time visor.
Enjoyed a 5L romp against moderate rivals at Ayr when making all. The third has won a seller since but her mark looks accurate. Potentially more to come and trainer has a good strike-rate with horses having their first run in a handicap. Should go well for a yard in form.
Improving a little with each start but needs to prove better on turf if she's to land a blow here. Drop back in trip probably a positive and jockey has forged a strong relationship with this yard. Not discounted.
Trained in France last year but hasn't improved for the change of yard yet and she was a disappointing favourite last time out at Newbury. Softer conditions may be in her favour and jockey booking is a positive (has a 30% strike-rate riding for this yard) but yard have been a little quiet in recent weeks.
Not beaten far in a weak looking maiden at Haydock two starts back but couldn't build on that at Yarmouth last time. Up against it once again from a wide draw.
Improved for her handicap debut last time when winning at odds of 20/1 and the form of that contest has a solid look to it. Has to be considered only up 1lb for that run.
Convincing winner when returned to maiden company at Lingfield two starts back but very disappointing effort at Bath in follow up bid when virtually tailed off in a handicap. Questions to answer off the back of that effort but may find softer conditions to her liking.
Hinted at ability in maidens over a variety of trips and ground and trainer has a good record around here but she will have to take a big step forward from her run earlier in the month to take any kind of hand.
Off the mark at the 11th attempt last time appreciating the step up in trip and won't mind an extra furlong the way she stayed on that day but this demands more, up 6lb in a deeper contest.

Voi improved for her handicap debut at Yarmouth last time and the handicapper has leniently only raised her 1lb for that effort. PARADISE COVE could be the one to side with though after an impressive win at Ayr last time out. Tomorrow Mystery and So Hoity Toity can battle it out for minor honours and both may prefer the conditions they'll encounter here.
