Capable when on song as she showed when going down narrowly under a positive ride at Cartmel (2m6f, good); up just 3lb and she can follow one good run with another.

Struck form in the autumn, most notably when holding on well to win from the front at Hexham (2m4f, soft), but ran poorly this month, after a break, and needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing.

Rallied gamely to pip next-time-out winner Moonlight Glory over C&D (soft) in April but today's 7lb higher mark demands a bit more from her on this first start since May.

On a good mark now and stuck to her task pretty well when respectable fifth at Cartmel (2m6f, good to soft) in August but others have much more appealing profiles; swaps cheekpieces for refitted visor.

Reliable 9yo who won at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) in November and ran respectably on most recent start when a 13l fourth of nine here (2m6f, good; reapplied visor, retained) in June, shaping as though she'd be worth a try over this longer trip; needs considering off 2lb lower.

Did pretty well to score at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) in November, having been hampered by You Some Girl's penultimate-flight fall, and is only 2lb higher here; also suited by good ground but has a point to prove after last month's poor Flat run.

Gained a breakthrough success at Sedgefield (2m1f) in April and has continued in very good form, third of 12 in 2m Uttoxeter handicap in July; cheekpieces replace blinkers and she's a likely player after a break.

Beat last weekend's winner Tara Iti at Sedgefield in April (2m1f, good); similar form in finishing second the last twice and although some 13l behind Auntie Maggie in her penultimate race, she has a hefty swing in the weights with that rival; regularly partnered by Joshua Thompson.

Form & Verdict
Won against own age-group on hurdling debut at Leicester (1m7f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) last November but has been out of form on the Flat for new stable this season and switches back to this code with quite a bit to prove, including her stamina for 2m4f on slow ground.
