Form & Verdict
Dual point winner and second in a Chepstow novice hurdle (for Paul Nicholls) in March 2021; absent until finishing second in a point 18 days ago (jumped poorly but only just beaten after a late charge); could be a real factor in this if she's recovered sufficiently from that effort.

Back from a break to readily account for an in-form horse over this far on soft ground at Hereford last month; has form on faster ground and, still lightly raced, a 6lb rise might not be too damaging.

Won 2m5f novice (good) last June but she didn't see out 3m on handicap debut at Southwell next time and presumably soft ground was the sticking point, despite having won a point on that surface, when pulled up on latest start last July; safer to wait for ground to dry out.

Finally off the mark over hurdles (at the ninth attempt) when justifying 1-5 odds over C&D a week ago; had to work hard then but ought to make a bold bid again under a 7lb penalty.

Very little to show for her first five efforts over hurdles but better when third behind Basford over C&D last week; that gives hope but she'll need another sizeable step forward to reverse that form.

Flat winner last October and showed promise in first two hurdling attempts at the end of the year; fell on handicap debut in January and absent until tailed off at Warwick two weeks ago (jumped moderately, attracted attention of stewards); hood returns but tongue-strap (worn in Flat win) still missing; hard to know what to expect.
