Sole success came in a Redcar maiden over 6f on good-to-soft ground last October on her final start for Ed Dunlop. Disappointing in three starts for this yard in 2017 and a bit to prove at present.

Forecasts

Caledonian Gold (3/1), Ubla (3/1), Himalayan Queen (3/1), Flying Fantasy (4/1), Gold Club (5/1), Intimately (9/1), Gabrielle (18/1), The Firm (28/1)

HIMALAYAN QUEEN can take the concluding event on the card having won over this C&D on her penultimate outing. The selection saw out the trip well on that occasion and can get the better of her rivals here with top weight Gold Club taken to give the selection most to do stepping up in trip today. At the other end of the weights Caledonian Gold ran well last time out and can take third off the same mark today.
