Two bumper wins included a Listed event at Cheltenham (good); twice turned over at odds-on over hurdles but perhaps not ideal having to lead last time and, with her ability, she can be given another chance.

Winner of a Listed bumper here; has won only a maiden and two handicaps over hurdles but she ran well against male opposition in a Grade 2 at Kempton 19 days ago despite racing freely, as is her way; this bigger field will suit but she looks up against it on the figures and she seems ideally suited by good ground.

Did well in bumpers last term and registered a hat-trick over hurdles (Plumpton, Fakenham and Ludlow) in the autumn, the last two legs of which were in handicaps; while she did not come near to justifying favouritism in Cheltenham handicap 11 weeks ago when last seen, she was not discredited; this test could suit and she's one to consider.

Quickly lost her way after finishing first (subsequently demoted to second) on seasonal/chase debut in October and again struggled when reverted to hurdling last month; now only 2lb higher than when winning this race a year ago (good to soft) but it takes a leap of faith to support her.
