Won 2m4f maiden hurdle here a year ago and all three runs in handicap hurdles over that trip this season have been perfectly respectable; upped to 2m7f for this chasing debut and has possibilities if she takes well to fences; raced only on good/good to soft ground under rules.

Big improver this season in winning three times, the latest over 2m3f here on good (handles softer); another good run last time in a Listed race at Warwick (2m5f, soft) and her form is right up there in this company; the nagging concern is that she was keen and didn't get home over 3m at Windsor two runs back, although the ground was soft.
