Exploited reduced mark at Wetherby in January and this quicker ground will also suit
14	Colby Mayfield Bay J:Ellis Collier(5) T:John & Rhys Flint	J:Ellis Collier(5) T:John & Rhys Flint	146	—	5893	83	101	76	17d	—	—	+8	12.3	6.25/1	25/1 4%

Ran okay here last month, after a layoff, but slow ground seems to suit this veteran best
1	Northern Symphonie Bay J:Miss Megan Bevan(7) T:Harriet Dickin	J:Miss Megan Bevan(7) T:Harriet Dickin	168	—	1-12P6	105	105	100	28d	—	—	+18	21.6	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Will be suited by a return to good ground but needs to get her career back on track
