2m4f hurdle winner for Fergal O'Brien last summer; midfield finish in maiden here (1m4f; 80-1) last month, but hinted at ability and even a repeat of that may be good enough to take second on this stable debut.

Some good performances last year as when beaten a short head off this mark over C&D in November; needs to better her two efforts since returning last month, though.

0-12 in Flat handicaps but she was placed here in November on two occasions (including C&D); behind Shipshape at Wolverhampton (1m6f) on his first start for 131 days but the returning cheekpieces should be a positive.

0-11 in Flat handicaps but bang there on three of her last four starts (2m here and Southwell 1m6f); that puts her firmly in the picture but there is a bit to prove after 131 days off.

Form & Verdict
Patchy form over hurdles lately, modest at best and with her Southwell win last month flanked by modest efforts; nothing in her pedigree to suggest she will do any better at this discipline.

Pulled up over fences latest; good start to her Flat career when second in an admittedly weak novice (9.5f) in January and it was her best run when third on handicap debut (also Wolverhampton, 1m4f) having been ridden prominently; new trip could eke out a bit more.

Placed on the Flat since winning over hurdles in first-time cheekpieces at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in December and ran quite well when back over hurdles last month; has headgear refitted for this chasing debut but others have more pressing claims.

Still unexposed over hurdles and has the services of Sean Bowen today but was beaten about 21l when fourth of seven over C&D (good) on last month's handicap debut; needs to find something extra.

Third foal; Highland Reel half-sister to 6f winner Dylan's Ruby (RPR 52); dam 6f AW winner (68); this 4yo makes her debut with her trainer in fine form, but he's just 1-151 in novice races in the last five years.
