Form & Verdict
Unplaced all six hurdle runs, most recently when pulled up in soft-ground handicap on stable debut in January; combination of wind surgery, first-time hood and return to good ground could plausibly prompt a better performance here, though; worth a glance in the betting.

2-4 since her wind op in the spring, the latter win gained on stable debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July; well beaten after racing too freely there a few days later but has had a longer break this time and the hood is refitted; leading contender if back on song.

After a wind operation she was first and fourth in 2m4f/2m7f handicaps for previous yard; joined this one for £3,000 and coped fine with the drop back to 2m when a clearcut winner here 11 days ago; raised 8lb but she's clearly turned a corner.

Left behind previous efforts when winning at Market Rasen (2m6f, good; hooded) in May after wind surgery, her fourth handicap start, but never figured over 3m there the following month; bought for £3,000 since and, despite the drop in trip not being an obvious plus, she can have a say.

Won when the hood went back on at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) in January and followed up at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft); disappointing at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) last time but she was missing the hood, which returns today along with a first-time tongue-tie; could have a part to play.
