Play At The Races StableDuel Handicap

Not wholly disgraced from miles out of the weights on last month's Chepstow handicap debut (5f, good), considering she overraced having blown the start; 19lb wrong this time and untried on synthetics, but her dam broke her maiden at Wolverhampton on her own second handicap start.

Stamina to spare as a dual 6f winner, and 1lb lower now than when making all at Kempton in January; must be a risk that forcing tactics would engage her in a pace battle with Writteninthestars in stall two.

Twice placed over 5.5f this spring without hitting the line overly strongly (lead wrested from her both times), and 0-12 overall now; drop back to a bare 5f for the first time in over a year looks a plus.

Seen making late headway on each of his 6f-7f starts this term (didn't stay 1m), again running on into the frame over the turf track here latest (good); drop to 5f doesn't look the way to go on that evidence.

Unimproved twice in April for the application of a hood (over 6f here) and then cheekpieces (all left off now); a first drop to 5f looks worth a try on those showings, if not on the damside pedigree.
