Comment: Four-time C&D winner and performed at a higher level than this in her peak; out of the frame (beaten 9l in fourth) in a claimer (sloppy track) just ahead of Mind Of Gold six months ago upped to 1m½f; a leading contender as reverting to this trip sure to suit.

Comment: Couldn't land a blow when sixth of eight in a claimer (muddy track) in November; knows this place inside out (four course wins); returns from a break today; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and there are better alternatives here.

9/2

Comment: Last of five in an optional claimer on debut for new trainer two weeks ago, behind the reopposing Diva Banker; has a good C&D record (three wins from six runs); can be in the thick of things as return to this trip is a plus and her last run was encouraging.

Comment: Finished behind several of these rivals two weeks ago when beaten 12l (sixth of seven) in a claimer; managed two wins in his last five outings; can be a player at this level; a likely player.
