Sole win came at about 1m on the AW; at least arrives here on the back of her best run of the season when close up in a Listed race at Goodwood (1m2f, good), though might have been flattered off steady fractions; handicapper thought otherwise as she's 8lb well in in theory for this.

Showed nothing on the Flat over 7f; 0-5 over hurdles but bang there the last twice on soft and good ground; won't be far away under what is effectively 10st.

Scotties Sister

11st 0lb

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

T: Nigel Twiston-Davies

Placed on two of her four hurdle starts, more recently when keeping-on second to good yardstick at Newton Abbot (2m1f, soft) last month; that form doesn't set a daunting standard but ought to make her presence felt.
