Not the worst overall strike-rate but has been below par recently and needs to take advantage of a sinking handicap mark.
Back to winning ways at Lingfield last time out. Has gone up 2lb but seems fair especially considering she's a progressive type and the form of that win is working out well.
Beat Very Honest at Kempton two starts back but tends to be at her best there and at Wolverhampton, and meets her on the same weight terms here.
Never truly threatened to get off the mark in eight races for Ed Dunlop, and needs to take her form to a new level on first start for this yard.
C&D winner two starts back but ran closer to her usual level of form when fourth at Kempton last time and may be set for a similar position today.
Second over this trip at Newcastle last time out. On the same mark here and seems very close to getting off the mark in a race of this nature; considered.

Betting
Forecast
Pulsating (2/1), Very Honest (9/4), The Lacemaker (5/1), Reedanjas (6/1), Mythical Spirit (8/1), Curious Fox (11/1)
Verdict
This will probably be between VERY HONEST and Pulsating. The first-named just shades preference as a 2lb rise for winning at Lingfield last time seems lenient and the form of that race is working out very well, with the second and the fourth having won since. She was second best to Archie Watson's charge last time they met, though, so it's not at all out of the question that could be the way of things again. Recent Newcastle runner-up Mythical Spirit could be third best
