Stratford (2m, good) winner in October off 4lb lower and possibly bettered that when a close third at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) last month, before appearing to find the drop back to 2m a little sharp at Taunton last time; more likely needed again.

Dual hurdle winner including over C&D (good); last success was off a similar mark at Plumpton in February but she's been disappointing in both runs since; hurdle record is now 2-14 and has something to prove after another break.
