Form & Verdict
Well beaten in her three qualifying runs but landed a gamble on handicap debut at Hereford (2m3f, good) eight days ago and again appeared to have a fair bit in hand when following up under 7lb penalty at Bangor (2m3f, good to soft) on Friday; has double penalty to shoulder here but 7lb claimer Jay Tidball is enlisted; should be hard to beat.

Ran very poorly on chasing debut in December and now reverts to hurdling after a 191-day break; on a good mark (even from 2lb out of the weights) but is not the force of old and others have much less to prove.

Form & Verdict
Came from the rear for last-gasp win on hurdling debut at Leicester (1m7f, good to firm) in November; had limitations brutally exposed in stronger juvenile hurdles on next two outings but is back in calmer waters for this handicap debut and the return to a sound surface is another plus.

Two Plumpton thirds since receiving wind surgery have been at least the equal of the form level of her February 2022 Hereford win (2m, soft), yet a 3lb drop in the weights has followed; tempting on that basis.
