Queen Ethelburga's Collegiate Handicap

Both career successes have come over C&D, the first in May and the latest just over 2 weeks ago in 7-runner handicap. Her head carriage has come under question and an 8 lb rise makes things tougher but clearly can't be ruled out at this venue.

Showed fair form without winning in France and shaped quite well on her first 2 starts in Britain. May have found the race coming too soon when failing to beat a rival at Carlisle (7f, firm, 12/1) 25 days ago and is down in class here after some help from the handicapper.

Failed to go on from a promising debut third at Lingfield for Richard Hughes and hasn't beaten a rival in 2 starts for current yard. Easy to look elsewhere.

Sold cheaply following a promising debut for Jamie Osborne last autumn and has been well beaten on both starts for this yard recently. The tongue tie goes on and she looks to have work to do from this opening mark.

Previously with George Boughey and made a fine start for this yard when a close second at Beverley in July before going one better at Hamilton 8 days later, albeit having the run of the race and probably fortunate. Still unexposed over this trip however and could defy a 3 lb rise.

Resumed from 6 months off with an improved second for new yard (formerly with Nigel Tinkler) at Wetherby in May and has remained in good form since without improving.

Modest maiden who fared little better when sixth of 7 in handicap at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) last month. Has work to do.
