Has winning form over this course and distance on the CV; produced a string of consistent efforts; respectable effort (beaten 2½l) over Christmas (Vaal) in a handicap; has to be taken seriously.

Can boast winning form over this C&D; has been fairly consistent this year; ran encouragingly when just over 2l second in a handicap finished just ahead of Whistledown four weeks ago; a major contender if confirming promise shown last time and drawn to save ground.

Not beaten too far when sixth here last month in a handicap; one win to her name was achieved a fair way back and not been able to make much of an impact in handicaps recently.

Last of nine in October behind Rattle Bag, in a handicap; just the one victory on her CV; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.

Verdict

Rattle Bag is a credible contender, and Striking Angel might have a say. However, firm preference is for BOOM BOOM. She bids for a third course success and is taken to confirm the placings after she had Whistledown behind latest.
