Rapid improver in 1¼m handicaps last season, winning 5 times between June and September. Running creditably in defeat this term and return to shorter could be in her favour. Respected.

Didn't need to improve to get off the mark in a first-time tongue strap from a lenient-looking mark in 6-runner handicap (3/1) at Salisbury (9.9f, good) 39 days ago, by head from Lady Reset, keeping on well. 2 lb rise fair and likely to go well again.

Bagged three handicaps on the bounce over 7f/1m at Chelmsford for Tony Carroll in April/May. Good third back on turf at York prior to resuming winning ways at Epsom (10.1f) 3 weeks ago. Handicapper applies more pressure with a 5 lb rise.

SAIGON is a lightly-raced sort who still looks on a good mark following a 2 lb rise for his Salisbury win, so he's fancied to go in again. Scarlet Dragon hasn't won for a long time but shaped well in a falsely-run affair at Windsor last time and is able to run off the same mark in first-time cheekpieces. Tregony could prove suited by this return to shorter and completes the shortlist.
