Lightly raced 8yo who returned from long absence with narrow win at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) in December but was never dangerous in her follow-up bid at Windsor (fourth of eighth) last month; that wasn't a bad effort but she needs to find more to defy this mark.

Didn't take to fences on first two starts this season; 2-4 over hurdles last campaign, latterly with a 3m win here on handicap debut, and not discredited on return to hurdling four weeks ago considering that was over only 2m; needs a second look.

Hasn't taken to fences this season but she was 2-4 over hurdles last campaign and she's only 3lb higher than for the handicap success; on the downside, she has something to prove on ground this soft and all her form is at 2m4f+.

Took good step in right direction when fifth at Warwick (2m5f, good) three weeks ago and could quite plausibly have untapped potential over staying trips, but she didn't look straightforward when soundly beaten in her first two handicaps and there are safer options here.
