10st 13lb |
Below her best on last three appearances, though a reluctance to settle (often the case) was never going to help when upped to nearly 3m the last time; she did win at Fakenham in November (7lb lower) on her last race at about this trip and heavy ground is fine. |

Bumper/hurdle winner; back to her very best when a near miss at Kelso in May (3m2f, good to soft) and just 1lb higher for this switch to fences; needs considering. |

Looked in excellent nick when making all for clearcut success at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) in February but was beaten about 30l over that C&D on next two outings; moves back up in trip with questions to answer. |

Course regular who patently failed to give her true running here last time when much shorter in the betting than runner-up Ephyra; did it easily from the front over C&D the time before when 7lb lower; solid chance if back on song. |

Made all to notch her third C&D win (soft; from 7lb lower) three weeks ago; that was in a mares' contest but she was a comfortable winner and this track brings out the best in her; one of the likeliest candidates. |

Both of her wins (bumper and maiden hurdle) were at this track and they have been her only two visits, the latter two years ago; fair fourth with first-time cheekpieces at Doncaster (3m) in December but back in the doldrums since; visor takes over and she returns to Huntingdon, so there are potential positives. |

Showed little in early ventures in bumpers and pulled up on hurdle debut but she came clear in quite pleasing style when winning a 2m1f maiden at Fontwell in August and had a stiff task under a penalty next time; should have a future at this level now handicapping. |

Winning Irish pointer but rules career has yet to get off the ground and she's achieved terribly little in handicaps over hurdles and fences; reverts to hurdles with something to prove in first-time cheekpieces. |

No serious involvement in four hurdles, most recently pulled up on handicap debut at Stratford in September (2m2f, good; out of the weights); runs off correct mark today but plenty more needed. |

Not beaten far at Ludlow in April (2m5f, good to soft) but early mistakes cost her when pulled up on final start for Fergal O'Brien; probably best watched on this occasion in first-time headgear. |
