Good third of 15 over hurdles in December, on her second run after a long absence; now switches back to Flat but she's well treated on old form, including a 2m win on Tapeta at Newcastle; one to keep an eye on.

Good strike-rate (10-23) on the Flat and pretty decent in that scene; however, she tried to refuse when unseating her jockey first time out over hurdles and then finished well behind at Ffos Las; reservations for now as a jumper.

Hasn't really shone over hurdles for current yard but she's a ten-time Flat winner who won all three of her runs for John Mackie in 2021 (1m2f/1m3f); acts on Tapeta and she should be well handicapped.

Took a step forward when second in a Huntingdon novice (2m, good) last month on her third hurdle start, and she reportedly lost her action when pulled up on subsequent handicap debut here; has potential off her current mark in view of her useful Flat ability; a tongue-tie goes on; could go well.

Veteran who has turned things around over fences recently, with a win at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) followed by a second on similar ground at Plumpton (3m1f); now returns to hurdling but she's lightly raced in this sphere and looks interesting off the same mark as last time.

Out of sorts initially this season but she wasn't without her supporters when back to form and winning at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) two weeks ago, and the 5lb rise looks manageable in her follow-up bid; leading contender if in the same frame of mind.

8lb higher than for last year's convincing win in this race which was staged at Cheltenham; only subsequent win in six races came at the expense of just three rivals at Ludlow in November (3m1f, good); lacklustre in her last three starts and hard to support with any confidence.

Made it 3-5 over fences with win here (3m1f, good) in November and good Listed second at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) next time; perhaps unsuited by soft ground when pulled up at Hereford (3m1f, soft) in December last time; could bounce back with a big run if conditions suit.
