C&D winner who returned to form when second at Pontefract on Tuesday; could be in the mix

Below best at Ripon but the drop back to 5f could help and she's on a competitive mark

Won at Redcar three weeks ago; 3lb rise isn't harsh; may not want slow ground nowadays

Hasn't shone on last three visits to York but perhaps the new visor will prompt a good run

Down the field last month but may have needed the run; interesting for in-form yard
