Bumper/hurdle winner who is 0-9 over fences but she's had tough assignments in Listed events in last two runs; this is more realistic back in a handicap and she's well treated on her best form at up to 3m1f; could be dangerous.

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.

All her bumpers were run on soft or heavy ground; has just under 5l to find with Presenting A Queen on the latest at Newbury but she's a well-bred mare open to significant improvement as a hurdler; longer trip here is a further bonus.

Bumper winner who was off the mark over hurdles here last July; there wasn't much wrong with her chase debut here (2m5f, soft) in September and she should go on from that following a good comeback against an in-form rival in a Chepstow hurdle (2m7f, good) last month.
