Form & Verdict
Close third at Ascot (soft) in one of her bumper starts last season; runner-up in maiden hurdles at Hereford (2m3f; beaten 17l) and Leicester (2m4f; beaten 7l) this term, both on good to soft; holds solid claims in this field and looks one of the main players.

Off the mark over hurdles when an all-the-way C&D maiden winner (heavy; 6-4 favourite) penultimate; weak in the betting - still favourite though - when underwhelming on handicap debut at Carlisle subsequently; switching back to Ffos Las, with Ned Fox returning to the saddle, is a sensible move.

Form & Verdict
Below par on Boxing Day when last seen but subsequent wind surgery may have positive effect and she goes well fresh having defied an absence to win bumper in November; placed at Wincanton (2m5f, good to soft; hurdles debut) in early December and that form gives her leading claims.
