Form & Verdict
Impressive winner of soft-ground Hereford bumper on rules debut in January and lost out only by a neck in Listed race at Sandown (heavy) in March; well beaten at Aintree festival in April (good to soft) but ought to be hard to beat if she handles the forecast good ground on this hurdling debut.

Form & Verdict
Placed on five of her six hurdling starts, most recently when second at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft) this month; will be fine over today's shorter trip but her limitations appear to have been exposed and she may have to settle for another minor role.

Just a respectable fourth over fences at Taunton (2m5f, soft) seven weeks ago and now 0-9 under rules but reverts to hurdling on a workable mark and good ground also suits; tongue-tie added; a possible.

Lightly raced 6yo who doesn't look the easiest of rides and best form thus far has come on good ground; however, she stormed home for 2l fourth on handicap debut at Doncaster (2m, good) in November, despite being hampered after final flight, and could prove well treated when things really click.
