Justified favouritism in a seller at Exeter (2m2f, good; visor added) two weeks ago but she didn't have to run up to her best in that race and this is much tougher back in a competitive handicap; has some work to do.

Has yet to find any consistency and hasn't offered much in her two handicaps (soft an excuse last time), but she ran okay behind decent mares on her first two runs over hurdles; disappointing if she fails to play a part at this level; visor is a first.

Form & Verdict
Placed on hurdling debut at Southwell (2m, soft) in November but her next two runs (2m4f/2m) were underwhelming, and she didn't get far on last month's handicap debut; still unexposed, but has something to prove.
