Form & Verdict
Bolted up on last month's handicap debut at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) and easily defied 14lb rise there (1m7f, soft) last week; she's 7lb ahead of the handicapper under a 7lb penalty and should be tough to beat.

Multiple hurdle winner who is 0-5 over fences and has a bit to find with some of these; she also has to rebound from a modest effort at Chepstow and her stamina isn't guaranteed.

0-13 and inconsistent, but ran well when fourth from 6lb out of the handicap at Ayr (2m, soft) last month and that form has worked out very well; each-way player if producing another good run this afternoon.

Won by 10l on reappearance here (2m4f, soft) in November and, after not staying 3m at Ayr, she bounced back with an easy, all-the-way win at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) 12 days ago; 8lb higher in a tougher race today but this progressive 8yo could still be ahead of the handicapper.
