Form & Verdict
Very useful (137-rated) hurdler hasn't reached that level in four attempts chasing but has come against some good types, most recently chasing home clear-cut winner (well clear of remainder) in Grade 2 mares' novice here last month over a slightly shorter trip; hurdles form is over shorter trips but latest effort suggests she could get this longer trip.

Won Grade 2 Mares Novice Hurdle at Cheltenham two seasons ago and first success since when beating sole other finisher Instit 6l in 2m4f Naas mares beginners chase last month, outstaying that rival (whose made a mistake at the last) despite an indifferent round of jumping; 2lb better off here and longer trip could enable her to confirm the form but needs to jump better.

Right back to her best when putting in a game effort to finish runner-up to Lossiemouth in the Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham, with the other three rivals in this contest in behind; return to quicker ground is fine but hard to see how she turns the form around with Lossiemouth given how easily she won that contest.

Form & Verdict
Useful 139-rated hurdler let down by jumping on opening two efforts over fences, notably when outstayed by Telmesomethinggirl after mistake at last over 2m4f at Naas; much more fluent when easier task in 2m5f Fairyhouse mares' beginners 15 days ago, making all and drawing away run-in for wide-margin win over a stablemate; type to keep improving with further experience and this better ground should give her every chance of staying.

Form & Verdict
Surpassed her hurdles form when making a pretty faultless start to her chasing career when beating a solid handicapper in a Listowel mares' novice in September (good) and better form in defeat twice following month, second occasion when not quite seeing out the 3m1f trip in finishing fourth in Cheltenham handicap; back from winter break with trip/ground to suit.
