Ex-Irish mare who has form figures of 314 for new stable, the win gained in Sedgefield maiden hurdle (2m4f); ran creditably in 2m1f handicap there last time; could go well again.

Beaten about 8l into fourth of eight when back in a handicap here (2m1f, soft) a fortnight ago, but this step up in trip could suit as she won a four-runner maiden over 2m4f here (soft) in November; not discounted.

Built upon November's promising stable debut when pipping short-odds favourite in four-runner maiden here (2m4f, soft) a few days later, her eighth start over hurdles; ought to cope with today's drop back in trip and should again be very competitive in this handicap.

Not far away in four maiden hurdles since winning a bumper on good to yielding and returning to these conditions should help, as might the longer trip.

Best known for his heroics at Bangor but showed career-best form when winning narrowly at Warwick (3m1f, good) last month; 3lb rise demands even more from him here; usual cheekpieces left off; tongue-tie added.

Goes particularly well at Bangor but was runner-up at Aintree on final run in October (3m, good); however, a 3lb rise sees him on a career-high mark and he's been off a good while.
