Runs this track well and has slipped to a tempting mark but has been inconsistent since her two chasing wins in summer 2021 and we haven't seen her since a 36l defeat over hurdles in November; had wind op (her third) in February.

Veteran mare who is better known as a chaser now; no longer the force of old but her recent efforts have been respectable and she runs this track well; of interest off her lower hurdle mark.

Form & Verdict
Free-going front-runner who is very well suited by good ground and posted a career best when scoring by 7l at Hereford (2m5f) in October; not seen since a lesser effort on good to soft ground there in November but could be hard to catch if she gets into a good rhythm here.

Bled from the nose when pulling up at Worcester in July and she ran as if something was amiss, jumping badly to her right, at Fontwell on latest outing; competitive mark judged on plenty of other form but a note of caution has been sounded.

Tailed off at Market Rasen in November and same story at Catterick last month on her sole run since; however, she may have needed that latest outing and runs off the same mark as for her win at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) in September; yard's horses are running well and she's not discounted.

Safely held in all three handicap hurdles, albeit she was prominent for a long way at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) on latest outing last month; needs to improve on today's chasing debut but her Irish point second in 2021 bodes well, and she's worth a glance in the betting.

Form & Verdict
Has modest 1-16 strike-rate over hurdles but returned from layoff with two good chase runs towards end of last season, more recently when third of ten at Exeter (2m1f, good); should be okay on this left-handed track; each-way claims at least.

Sole win (33 races) was on good ground here but in 2021; results over the last year have been pretty grim (latest in first-time cheekpieces) and she's now 6lb out of the handicap; unraced beyond an extended 2m5f.
