Listed bumper winner who is 2-2 over hurdles this season; kept on well to pip Park Princess in Haydock Listed race (2m3f, good to soft) in December but was probably second best on merit there and has to concede 5lb to her old rival here.

Limited appeal on bumper exploits but those were for a different yard and she's looked highly progressive over hurdles in the West Country, the latest win in a Listed race; has earned herself a crack at this but she'll need a career best by some almighty margin to be in the shake-up.
