Didn't run badly on the Flat in July but has been disappointing over hurdles since winning a mares' novice at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) in February and others have more pressing claims.

Displayed a thoroughly willing attitude when breaking her duck at Kempton (1m3f) a fortnight ago; that form has since been franked by the runner-up so, while she undoubtedly has more to do from this 6lb higher mark, further improvement remains a possibility; first run at Southwell.
