Form & Verdict
Has just over 5l to find with White Noise on their Warwick clash in February (2m3f, heavy) but a 5lb pull with the winner can only help her cause and perhaps 3m on soft ground stretched her when a remote second at Doncaster (Listed); has to enter the reckoning.

An improving mare who won two of her first three races over hurdles and wasn't disgraced at Warwick when raised into a Grade 2 (2m3f, heavy); unraced beyond an extended 2m4f under rules but she won a 3m point and there's stamina in her pedigree.

Form & Verdict
Tongue tied for her last three starts and it's made a difference; after her defeat at Warwick (2m3f, heavy) she didn't look an obvious candidate for the Grade 2 over 2m1f at the Cheltenham Festival (good), but in the van throughout she dug deepest when it mattered to spring a 40-1 surprise; there was no fluke about it and the third has since finished runner-up in a Grade 1; carries a penalty back at Listed level.

Progressive mare who won Newbury handicap (2m, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) by 5l just after Christmas and is now 3-3 over hurdles this season; has good chance at the weights on this return to novice company, assuming she copes well with the slower ground.
