OR:

Form & Verdict
Improved form when second at Southwell (1m6f, AW) recently on her second stable start; has also shown promise on turf; there's every chance she'll be effective over hurdles and she's one to consider in a first-time hood.

Form & Verdict
Talented during light Flat AW career for Sir Mark Prescott and also showed promise when third on her hurdle and stable debut at Doncaster (2m, good) in December; was no match for the first two but they've franked the form and she holds leading claims.

Third to Greyval 12 months ago off the same mark; hadn't been at her best this season but came good at Market Rasen (2m4f, soft) and clearly capable of having some say in the outcome.

Form & Verdict
Consistent sort who has been second or third on each of her last four hurdle starts (soft-good to firm); might not be far away but needs something extra in the first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) to win this.
