Yet to add to her three wins (at up to 2m4f) last winter but she took a step back in the right direction when fourth of eight in 2m Leicester handicap last month; she can't be discounted off a falling mark.

Has a record of 5-10 over hurdles, the most recent win by 10l in a five-runner race at Ffos Las (2m6f, soft) in May on latest outing; 7lb higher today but has to be taken seriously for yard among the winners.

Lightly raced; took a big step forward for her new yard when keeping-on fourth of eight in steadily run 2m4f Leicester handicap and, although beaten further, she posted the same RPR when favourite at Huntingdon; all her form is on soft or heavy ground but she should be dangerous down into a seller.

Bettered underwhelming chase debut when close second at Leicester (2m6f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in January and has claims if judged on that performance but was struggling before stamina might have been an issue over 3m1f at Plumpton this month and can't be relied upon.
