Sole win (1-14) came over this trip at Musselburgh (25-1) in July 2019; finished behind a few of today's rivals when sixth of 15 (to Pull Harder Con) in a Class 6 C&D handicap last week.
11-race maiden; finished a keeping on third of 15 (to Pull Harder Con) in a Class 6 C&D handicap last week; this track appear to suit her run style; wide draw a potential negative.
16-race maiden; finished fourth of 15 (to Pull Harder Con) in a Class 6 C&D handicap last week - form ties in closely with Chillon Castle, Alisia R et al.
Former Irish-racer (11-race maiden); finished last of 15 (80-1) on final start for Des Donovan at Naas (5f) 49 days ago; best to consult the market for any relevant clues.
Poor win ratio on turf (1-23), although was regularly placed (232) during the month of July, including in a very similar classified contest at Yarmouth (6f).
Over four years since her last (and only) win (1-39); finished behind a number of these rivals when eighth of 15 (to Pull Harder Con) in a Class 6 C&D handicap last week.
Very pacy 19-race maiden; has threatened on various occasions since the resumption of racing (2236); produced her usual weak finish (sixth) over C&D latest - with Chillon Castle ahead of her in fourth.
Dual C&D winner (in 2019); has been dealt a rough hand with the draw in stall 14; repeatedly short of room when finishing ninth of 15 (to Pull Harder Con) in a Class 6 C&D handicap last week.
Has twice hit the frame since the resumption of racing, including in a similar contest at Musselburgh (5f, good) in late July; sole win (1-24) came on the AW at Newcastle.
Found a rich seam of 'form' on turf at Musselburgh last August/September (1324), but was well below that level on the Fibresand at Southwell when last in competitive action 259 days ago; others more likely.
Lightly-raced (0-7); posted a reasonable shift (comeback run) when finishing third of six to stablemate Not On Your Nellie at Ripon (5f, good) 19 days ago; wouldn't need to improve too much in order to have a positive say; wide draw is the negative.
11-race maiden with essentially poor form; the visor is newly-applied seeking to work the oracle - don't bank on it making a positive impact by any means.

Independence Day (5/2), Frow (10/3), Rangefield Express (13/2), Newgate Angel (7/1), De Latour (17/2), Invincible Bertie (9/1), Chillon Castle (10/1), The Bull (10/1), Alisia R (14/1), Storm Lightning (20/1), Kibaar (20/1), Oriental Splendour (33/1), Mightaswellsmile (40/1), Sweet Embrace (100/1), Thornaby Princess (100/1)
A virtual re-run, albeit from different stalls, of last week's Class 6 C&D handicap won by Pull Harder Con which featured Chillon Castle (third), De Latour (fourth), Alisia R (sixth), Mightaswellsmile (eighth) and Oriental Splendour (ninth). The well-drawn duo Newgate Angel (stall one) and Storm Lightning (stall four) offer the probable pace-angle in a race which makes no appeal for punting purposes. If hard pressed for a selection, perhaps the lightly-raced three-year-old INVINCIBLE BERTIE offers the potential solution.
- Invincible Bertie
- Chillon Castle
- Newgate Angel
