Launched chasing career with two wins in the autumn (2m4f/2m7f) and came second in two subsequent Listed races (hurdle/chase); lost out only narrowly to a next-time-out winner when back in a handicap at Leicester (2m4f, good to soft) last month and has a fighting chance here.

Chance on her win and place form over hurdles last season (2m3f-3m) and, although below par last time, that came after wind surgery; the second run after that procedure can be better.

Made all at Wetherby (2m3f, soft; form worked out well) just under a year ago but wasn't seen again until heavy defeat at Leicester (2m4f, soft) in December and needs to have taken significant benefit from that run.

Won when back over hurdles at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) last month; beaten 12l into second of 15 when unpenalised at Wincanton (2m4f, heavy) nine days later and a 6lb rise has now kicked in, but it was still a creditable effort last time and she can give another good account.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten in two chases since November but now makes handicap debut as a hurdler and her three runs in this discipline weren't devoid of promise; unraced beyond 2m1f but she's bred for this far.

Form & Verdict
Dual Flat winner; the form of her Ludlow win (2m5f, good to soft) has worked out quite well and she then went down narrowly at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) after travelling the best; they claimed 5lb that day and she has gone up 2lb, but thereabouts
