Both wins have came at Ludlow when claimer ridden; ran respectably following 12 months off when third of seven at Haydock (1m7f, good) last month; all of her best form previously had been over right-handed tracks, so a question remains over her suitability for this course.

Ten hurdle races, winning a C&D handicap (good) in October under Nathan Andrews who today rides her for first time since; apparent best form when fifth in a Grade 2 for her sex at Ascot in January, but she hung right and eventually tailed off (after making the running) when 200-1 in the mares' novice at Cheltenham Festival; big player judged on her better efforts.
