OR:

Form & Verdict
Well held in a big field at Aintree (good; 11-1) last autumn but she shaped better than that suggests, leading from over 3f out until approaching the final 1f; she's had wind surgery and a break since; out of a bumper winner and representing one of the top trainers in this sphere, she could be a different proposition today.

Pleasing debut when second of five at Worcester (good) last summer; didn't build on that in two subsequent starts but that still represents the best form on offer here; has to be respected after 11 months off.

Maiden with three seconds to her name; beaten 27l into fourth on her handicap debut at Fakenham but 2m4f around there perhaps caught her out (never dangerous from off the pace); has stayers in the family and one to consider.

Outran 50-1 odds when second on hurdling debut at Chepstow (2m3f, good) in October; below that form twice since and has some questions to answer on today's handicap debut but her stable does well here and it would be dangerous to write her off at this stage.
