Went very close at Chepstow (2m7f) before gifted the race over C&D last month when left clear late on; she did hold every chance at the time anyway and has gone up only 2lb.

2-6 in handicap chases, the latest win by 10l at Bangor (3m, good; 8lb higher today) last April; creditable second there when returning in October but backward steps on her two starts since; latest (Windsor on New Year's Day) is a worry.

Added a second course win when back on track in cheekpieces over 2m6f (good to soft) in January but, while running creditably off 5lb higher, failed to quite match that level when third at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) last month; respected back at this venue on better ground; now tried in blinkers, with Rian Corcoran's claim a plus.
