Form & Verdict
Point runner-up who has made a promising start over rules fences for her current yard, going in at the first time of asking at Fontwell before edged out by a neck at Musselburgh (2m4f) having jinked left run-in: she has more to offer and warrants respect.

One win and four seconds from her six runs over fences; it was an uncompetitive race in which she was runner-up last time (2m2f, good to soft) but highly likely to be in the thick of it once more.

Won by a head on chase/handicap debut at Fontwell (2m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in October and was second three consecutive times the following month (2m4f-2m6f); has fitness to prove after 226-day absence but still features prominently in calculations; had wind op in May.

Form & Verdict
First past the post on her chasing debut at Ffos Las (edged left and demoted) but she failed to build on it when a remote third at Hereford (3m1f) later in October; possibly found that run coming too quickly and she's the sort to bounce back.

Quickly lost her way after finishing first (subsequently demoted to second) on seasonal/chase debut in October and again struggled when reverted to hurdling last month; now only 2lb higher than when winning this race a year ago (good to soft) but it takes a leap of faith to support her.
