Point/bumper winner and third of nine in a Listed race last time at Sandown; this longer trip looks a good move for hurdling debut and she should have every chance.

T: Anthony Honeyball

Course bumper winner who easily made all on handicap debut at Windsor (2m4f, good) on New Year's Day; unplaced/pulled up in Grade 2/Listed races on heavy/soft going on her two starts since but she could be an entirely different proposition now back in a handicap and back on better ground.

Bounced back from a poor performance to make all in Windsor handicap (2m4f, good) on New Year's Day and is now 2-4 over hurdles; probably has more improvement to come but others in this line-up already have stronger form, and she's untested on ground slower than good to soft.

Won two four-runner novice hurdles on good ground last year, the first over just short of 3m; fair fifth on 2m5f Ascot handicap debut in November but weakened quickly when pulled up over 3m at Doncaster back from a break 19 days ago; first-time cheekpieces are reached for on the back of that.
