Five starts over hurdles, taking her form to another level when she won 11-race at Exeter (extended 2m5f, soft) two months ago in her second handicap; carried her head awkwardly before run-in and has gone up 6lb but she may well have more to give. |

Scored on hurdle debut at Wincanton (2m5f, heavy) last December and bettered that form when placed in Listed race at Doncaster (3m, soft) in March; pulled up in valuable handicap later that month and absent since but connections are evidently keen to switch this winning Irish pointer to chasing. |

Ability in bumpers and found plenty of improvement from her comeback run to finish a staying-on fourth at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft) when just over 4l behind Stuti; gives the impression that she's going to stay further than this; handles soft. |

Ridden by Beau Morgan all starts under rules; placed in two 2m3f novice hurdles (on soft) last season; handicap debut in March was in a tough race but she had just started backpedalling when making a mistake two out at Fontwell (2m3f; 7-4 favourite) on reappearance 18 days ago; headgear is now given a go and this is a weak race. |

Looked useful in bumpers and was a promising novice hurdler last season, albeit during a rather mixed campaign; stopped quickly and was pulled up when switched to fences for last month's handicap debut but it would be foolish to write off her chasing career after that. |
