2-2 on heavy going; unseated on chase debut in November and her jumping lacked fluency when second of three in Listed mares' novice at Warwick (2m4f) next time; appeared to step up when winning a two-runner beginners' chase at Doncaster (upped to 3m, good) latest, finding a fine leap at the last and keeping on well to make all; should have more to offer.

All six starts on soft/heavy ground; this two-time bumper winner (including here) scored easily at Ffos Las (2m) in December on her second hurdle start before a creditable third of five in a Grade 2 mares' novice at Sandown (2m4f) last month; has potential off her opening mark, if conditions suit.

Has just over 5l to find with White Noise on their Warwick clash in February (2m3f, heavy) but a 5lb pull with the winner can only help her cause and perhaps 3m on soft ground stretched her when a remote second at Doncaster (Listed); has to enter the reckoning.

An improving mare who won two of her first three races over hurdles and wasn't disgraced at Warwick when raised into a Grade 2 (2m3f, heavy); unraced beyond an extended 2m4f under rules but she won a 3m point and there's stamina in her pedigree.

Comfortably made all in three-runner maiden on hurdle/stable debut at Plumpton (2m, good) in November; her two subsequent novice runs have been on soft ground and she was a creditable second behind Tour Ovalie at Taunton (2m, soft) last month; benefits from sizeable pull in the weights with that rival today and retains potential now back on better ground for handicap debut.
