Four-time hurdle winner, including this race off a 6lb higher mark last year; seemed to have been aided by a wind op when placed on consecutive outings this summer (2m4f/2m5f, good) but two disappointing efforts have followed and she now has questions to answer again.

Tailed off at Market Rasen in November and same story at Catterick last month on her sole run since; however, she may have needed that latest outing and runs off the same mark as for her win at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) in September; yard's horses are running well and she's not discounted.
