Form & Verdict
Ran twice in bumpers; stepped up from her first hurdles run when a pleasing second over a shorter trip here in April; not nearly as good when she weakened from two out over 2m3f on latest; that raises an element of doubt but good chance of reaching the money if she stays.

Poor form on the Flat and a similar story on his first two starts over hurdles; showed huge improvement when second over 2m3f at this venue; 200-1 chance then, and the winner was 66-1, so there may be a doubt about the merit of the form.
