Waves has won in soft ground at Bath but is 9lb higher and struggling for form. Here's Two was runner-up over a mile here last month and Bradfield Magic was third at Brighton recently. Mia Cara won off a similar mark on the all-weather early this year and Suni Dancer landed a double over 6f at the end of last season. However, CHARACTERIZED has placed the last twice in maiden races and a chance is taken she handles today’s going with improvement expected now handicapping for the first time.
