One win and four seconds from her six runs over fences; it was an uncompetitive race in which she was runner-up last time (2m2f, good to soft) but highly likely to be in the thick of it once more.

Won by a head on chase/handicap debut at Fontwell (2m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in October and was second three consecutive times the following month (2m4f-2m6f); has fitness to prove after 226-day absence but still features prominently in calculations; had wind op in May.

Just ahead of Theweddingcanwait in a Worcester bumper before winning in workmanlike fashion at Newton Abbot (good to soft); very disappointing when favourite for her hurdling debut and blinkers now join the tongue-tie; should go well if they have a positive effect.

125-1 and never a factor at Aintree last time; won't find it as hard to adopt her preferred position at or near the early speed here, but barely stays 3m (sole win at that trip came at Askham Bryan's very sharp circuit) and has further still to go here.

Easily won a maiden hunter chase at Cartmel (2m5f, good to soft) last May; didn't run badly at Fakenham (3m, soft) in February but well beaten at Carlisle (2m5f, good to soft) since and she would be a shock winner.

Won by wide-margin at Cartmel (2m5f, good to soft) last spring and ran big race when second to once-smart rival at Fakenham (3m, soft) last month; it's quite tricky to weigh up what that recent piece of form is worth but, nevertheless, she's respected here.
