Runner-up in her latest two starts and major claims on those; anything but convincing in the early stages at Market Rasen this month (nearly refused at the first) but could prove hard to beat if behaving herself.

Progressive on good ground last summer and she was back on good ground for latest two starts, winning by a short head under Ben Bromley over C&D on latest; raised 5lb and needs to further her improvement.

Progressive on good ground last summer and appreciated the return to similar conditions when fourth of 14 in a 2m3f handicap at Taunton in December; hard to call her well handicapped but Ben Bromley's claim will help in that respect.

Pulled up on handicap debut at Hereford four weeks ago when back from a break but the soft ground may not have suited; this lightly raced 5yo was progressive on good ground in May-July and it will be no surprise if she gets back on track with a big performance.

Placed on first two hurdling starts for Fergal O'Brien, the latter over C&D (good) in July; not seen since slightly disappointing effort at Bangor later that month, but sports cheekpieces for today's stable/handicap debut and is worth a glance in the betting.
