Form & Verdict
Never really got involved in Champion Bumper at Cheltenham in March but won two good-ground Cheltenham bumpers (one a Listed race) by a combined total of 18l last year, and her odds-on defeat at Market Rasen (good to soft) in February came at the hands of a subsequent Grade 2 Aintree festival winner; appears to have been found a simple task on today's hurdling debut.

A winner at Listed level in bumpers, over hurdles and fences; jumped particularly well when flooring odds-on Bluey here in February (heavy) and again ran well behind a sharp improver at Doncaster six weeks ago (soft; off 1lb higher); has won on good ground; very solid.

Looked hot property in bumpers and has won at Listed level in that scene and over hurdles and fences; appreciated the drop back to 1m7f (heavy; versatile ground-wise) when flooring a talented favourite on her third chase start at Wincanton where her jumping was slick throughout; the close proximity of the third horse (rated way lower) in that Listed race holds the form down, but this mare has shown she can deal with her current mark.

Dual Listed winner (bumper/hurdle), who is unexposed over fences and ran well for a long way when third of six in a Musselburgh handicap (2m4f, good to soft) 13 days ago; wasn't far off her best with that promising effort and she's respected on this drop back in trip.

Made quite promising debut when staying-on third of seven in newcomers' bumper here (soft) in March but was soundly beaten at Taunton (good to soft) last month and a minor role is probably her best hope on today's hurdling debut.

Front-running winner of this race last year, but she's had only three runs since and was tailed off at Hereford (2m5f, soft) last month; needs to bounce back after that but she's feasibly treated if she can get back near best; has won on good and heavy ground.
