Made the frame twice in the spring (2m4f/2m5f) but was well beaten at Cartmel three months ago with no obvious excuse; just two wins from 45 attempts over hurdles and he's fully exposed.

Has very modest 2-44 strike-rate over hurdles but made the frame on both starts in the spring (2m4f/2m5f) and is suited by this C&D; won't mind what the weather does; probably won't be far away.

Form & Verdict
In the spring she gained back-to-back handicap chase wins at Market Rasen (soft) and here (heavy), the latest off 5lb lower; good ground seemed to find her out at Newcastle in May and she's been absent since; respected on this return to hurdling with ground conditions suitable.
