Won on recent reappearance at Beverley; strong claims if return to Tapeta isn't an issue

Three wins this year (two over C&D) and undone by slow pace over C&D last time; a possible

Her losing run continues but she has another career-low mark and might not be far away

Disappointing on sole handicap start but has shown promise otherwise; a case can be made

Below last winning mark but has to raise game in a big way on second start of the season

Form went wrong way last season but she's had wind surgery and is on a dangerous mark

Not beaten far on h'cap debut; pedigree provides optimism that she'll have more to offer
