Ran well on both previous visits to Cheltenham, latterly when second of 13 in December (2m4f, good to soft); below that form lately but will be fine over today's trip and Harry Cobden is an interesting booking.

Form & Verdict
Well treated on best hurdle form (did not show it on last three starts last term); pulled up on chase debut and finished 18l behind the runner-up when third of ten at Warwick (3m1f, soft) one month ago, so that was a partial revival; wore first-time cheekpieces on that latest start, which are now joined by a tongue-tie; this step back in trip should help.

Well handicapped on her old hurdles form but she's been pulled up in three of her last five starts including at Newbury (3m, good to soft) in March; drops back in trip/grade but she needs a major turnaround back against her own sex.

Well handicapped if going back far enough but last season didn't end well and again below par this term over fences (in cheekpieces last twice), with her placed efforts nothing to shout about (beaten 22l and 39l); returns to hurdling with a few questions to answer.

Form & Verdict
3-11 over fences, having won three on the trot last February-March, including this race on second leg; runner-up on first two starts this season, before lesser efforts on last two outings; last year's hat-trick was preceded by a heavy defeat and cheekpieces are now installed; has to be considered seriously in weak race.

All three chase wins in 2023, at 2m3f-2m5f (good and good to soft) so is on a losing run but she's been in good form on soft over the winter and the return to good ground will be appreciated; in the mix.
