Suffered significant dip in form last season but returned from ten-week break with 5l win over C&D (good to soft) last month and remains well handicapped after a 3lb rise; will have something to prove if the ground turns soft but, otherwise, has strong claims.

11-race maiden but placed in three of her four completed handicaps and about 4l clear when unseating at the final flight at Catterick (3m1f, soft) on latest outing; has also paid for that blunder with a 5lb rise, but she looks a leading contender.

Made it 3-5 over fences with win here (3m1f, good) in November and good Listed second at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) next time; perhaps unsuited by soft ground when pulled up at Hereford (3m1f, soft) in December last time; could bounce back with a big run if conditions suit.

Form & Verdict
Placed in her final bumper and first run over hurdles; tailed off next time but staged a partial recovery on latest start and it's always possible she can show something new given that she has a very different trip (upped from 2m) for this handicap debut.
