Her Winton trainer Trevor Proctor is aiming three horses at the mares’ series which is held at Ascot Park, Winton and Forbury Park during May and June.

Tact Charlotte will contest the non-winners to one-win division of the series, while her stablemate­s Ideal Tact and Tact Hayleys Delight are being set for the two to four-wins section.

Mike McKaid had not raced for eight months when finishing seventh at Ascot Park on March 23.
