Suffered early mishap three starts ago but placed on other four outings this season, most recently when second ay Exeter (3m, good) three weeks ago; ran poorly on only previous visit to Fakenham and would appeal more on ground slower than good but still features prominently in calculations.

Bumper/hurdle winner who is 0-9 over fences but she's had tough assignments in Listed events in last two runs; this is more realistic back in a handicap and she's well treated on her best form at up to 3m1f; could be dangerous.
