Won at Hexham last August in the first of her three bumpers but a Grade 2 at Aintree (125-1) proved far too tough in April; will build at some point on the modest form shown in a 9.4f maiden on her recent first venture under Flat rules, but she's impossible to fancy today.

Won at Hexham last August in the first of her three bumpers but a Grade 2 at Aintree (125-1; always behind) proved far too tough in April on final outing; a 9.4f maiden may not look the most promising fit at first glance for her first venture under Flat rules but this looks a weak race.

Form & Verdict
Dam very useful 2m1f/2m3f Irish hurdle winner, closely related to smart jumper Stolen Silver; second-favourite at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) last month and she ran well to finish a clear second behind a 1-8 shot; that was a promising start and she should improve for that experience; key player.

Defied a double penalty when completing her hat-trick over hurdles at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) 18 days ago; connections wasting little time in switching to fences for handicap debut and she looks to have been crying out for this longer trip; on a workable mark and could improve again.

Followed up her Hereford win over C&D 16 days ago, though had to work hard to do so; shoulders a double penalty and she probably has greater potential over further, but she's still the one to beat.

Off the mark at the sixth attempt over hurdles when scoring by 9l in a Hereford novice (2m3f, good) two weeks ago; that was at 1-2 in a five-runner race but her main market rival was a clear second and she hit a personal best with that win; big player again under a penalty.
