Both wins over hurdles when making all, one here on fast ground; ridden with more restraint since returning this year but was in contention before last-fence fall at Bangor (2m4f, good) two starts ago, and last month's Uttoxeter third was respectable; can go well again and it will be interesting to see whether she reverts to more positive tactics.
