Form & Verdict
Has a patchy record but off the mark with a brave win over fences at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) 19 days ago; up 5lb but her confidence should be boosted and this step back up in trip is no problem; key player.

All three chase wins in 2023, at 2m3f-2m5f (good and good to soft) so is on a losing run but she's been in good form on soft over the winter and the return to good ground will be appreciated; in the mix.

Form & Verdict
Added to her hurdle win when scoring over fences at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft) last month and she ran well again when a 3l third of six at Wetherby last time; still lightly raced in this sphere and she has possibilities back up in trip.

Inconsistent seven-race maiden but she returned for a new yard with a close second on her chase debut at Ffos Las (2m5f, soft) last month; nudged up 3lb but that was a big run at a big price and she should have more to offer in this sphere; respected.
