3-12 over hurdles, latest in May off 4lb higher in this headgear combination, but has gone backwards since and was soundly beaten on both starts following wind surgery and a switch to fences; on a good mark and Harry Atkins' claim helps, so not completely ruled out if rediscovering some spark.

Record of 3-12 over hurdles, the last win off this mark; had a wind operation prior to finishing tailed off on chase debut at Uttoxeter, where she was a weak 14-1 chance in a race won by a stronger-fancied stablemate; needs to better that performance.
