10st 13lb |
Didn't have a good strike-rate over hurdles or fences but then went back-to-back in 2m4f handicap chases on good to soft at Musselburgh late last year; 5lb higher than for that latest 5l success and her subsequent defeat was over hurdles; chance. |

Wins a Musselburgh (2m4f) the last twice took her chase record to 3-10; only 1-22 over hurdles and has to deal with a career-high mark back in this sphere. |

Just 1-22 over hurdles but was a front-running second off 2lb lower at Kelso (2m2f, good) last month; mixed results in her six runs over fences but she had a win in Ireland last spring and still has potential in this sphere; not ruled out back in trip. |

Tried hard to justify favourite's tag in a beginners chase here latest; good second also here on last start over hurdles; tongue-tie won't need to bring about a whole lot of improvement in order for her to add to sole win (2021); should give another good account. |
