Clear promise in Huntingdon bumper (1m5f, good) and Ludlow junior hurdle (2m, good to soft), finishing second both times; had some of these rivals well behind her on latest occasion, keeping on; nicely bred and should be capable of more progress; respected.

Close third in Cheltenham Grade 2 novice (2m good to soft) in October and again ran commendably well when third in Newbury Listed race (2m, soft) a few weeks later but was tailed off when reappearing in a handicap last month and it's hard to know what to expect from her here.

Made all in three-runner mares' chase at Wincanton (1m7f, good) last month and is now 4-8 over fences; faces tougher task from 3lb out of the weights here but is evidently in good nick, and new jockey Isabelle Ryder claims 5lb.

Could be interesting in her second handicap, as heavy ground was probably not ideal when reappearing from a long absence in her first; did well in juvenile hurdles (on good and good to soft) and if as good as she was then this mark should be fine.
