Both hurdle wins have been at 3m on decent ground, including at Clonmel last October; not so effective in a couple of recent attempts chasing but in between went down by only a neck (clear of remainder) to a well-handicapped sort in 3m Cork handicap hurdle; drying ground to suit and one for the shortlist. |

Highly progressive for new yard this season and has won handicaps on her last four hurdle starts (2m7f-3m1f, good-soft), most recently in comfortable fashion at Ludlow last month; this is a much tougher test of her credentials but it remains to be seen where her limitations now lie. |

Won on yielding ground in Ireland but her two hurdle wins (2m7f and 3m) in October were both on good ground and good to soft is probably as slow as she wants it; fell on her return to fences before Christmas and needs to justify a career-high mark, 7lb higher than her latest win. |
