Form & Verdict
No longer the force of old but was second off 3lb higher here (3m1f, good to soft) in November and both subsequent runs (2m4f/2m3f) were arguably a fair bit better than the distances she was beaten might suggest; swaps cheekpieces for refitted blinkers; can't be ruled out.

Scored at Haydock (2m5f) in March and largely in good nick since, though she beat only one in 2m4f Worcester handicap hurdle 33 days ago; she's the sort to bounce back.

First-time visor and enjoyed a soft lead when winning at Haydock (2m5f, good) in March; bumped into one when second last time but that still completed a subsequent run of double-figure defeats.

Form & Verdict
Soundly beaten when 66-1 for last month's handicap debut at Newcastle (2m6f, heavy); remains unexposed but needs combination of first-time visor and less-testing ground to enable significant improvement here.

Began this season with two 2m4f wins (good/soft) and was creditable third of 15 off today's mark at Doncaster (2m5f, good) on next outing; not seen to best effect on heavy ground two starts ago and ran as though something was amiss last time; remains one to be interested in.

Kept on resolutely to cause 33-1 surprise in Sedgefield juvenile hurdle (2m1f, soft) in November, her third hurdling start, but was just a respectable third in a handicap over that C&D last month and is effectively 1lb higher today; needs to find something extra over this longer trip.

Three wins last spring and a career best to score at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) this March, albeit with half the hurdles omitted; ran creditably at Kelso (2m5f, good) 12 weeks ago but that fourth of six suggests that she needs to raise her game again.
