7-23 overall and she arrives on a roll after wins over hurdles at Hexham (2m, good to soft) in June and on the Flat here (1m5f, good to soft) in September; should make a chaser and could be hard to peg back if getting into a good rhythm.

Form & Verdict
Both wins on heavy ground, over 1m2f on the Flat and last time reeling in one of Willie Mullins' lesser lights in a Punchestown maiden over an extended 2m3f; as that day, she's a 4yo filly getting the allowances.

The best of her three bumper runs was the middle one when about 10l behind the winner at Wetherby (good to soft); looks vulnerable on this switch to hurdles.
