Placed in two bumpers last year and has shown promise on first two hurdling starts, more recently when remote third at Chepstow (2m3f, heavy) a fortnight ago; has quite a bit to find with Endless Supply here, though.

Failed to offer much in two chase runs last season and again struggled back over hurdles; steadied the ship when back over fences at Haydock (3m1f, soft) but not many completed and her jumping became iffy in the closing stages; others preferred.

Failed to shine on her two chase starts last season and pulled up on reappearance over hurdles; however, this lightly raced 8yo looked good when winning a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (2m6f, heavy) last December and she may be the latest Venetia Williams runner to excel on testing ground at Haydock.

Similar chance to Alfie's Princess on their domination of an Exeter race in November (2m2f, good to soft) and unlikely that she was seen to best effect on heavy when turned over at odds-on at Uttoxeter just before Christmas; rested since and might not be badly handicapped.

Bought by Rebecca Curtis after soft-ground Irish point win on debut in January; outpaced from penultimate flight and beaten about 35l on last month's rules debut but positives can still be drawn from that performance, and a stiffer stamina test may show her in a better light here.

Record of 2-7 over rules fences features a comfortable success on good ground at Bangor (3m) last April; best form this term when going very close at Chepstow (2m7f) most recently; another spring win looks plausible.

2-6 in handicap chases, the latest win by 10l at Bangor (3m, good; 8lb higher today) last April; creditable second there when returning in October but backward steps on her two starts since; latest (Windsor on New Year's Day) is a worry.
