Form & Verdict
Second in a juvenile hurdle at Hereford and her fourth here last month was respectable; goes beyond 2m for the first time now handicapping and rates a likely improver.

Drew well clear of the others with Lahinch Wave when scoring at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft) last month and is now 3-9 over hurdles; latest 5lb rise does not look excessive; must be considered.

One blip over 3m1f aside she's held her form fine since the winter's Southwell and Huntingdon successes, a refusal to settle just finding her out late at Fontwell latest (2m6f, good); no margin for error following a 2lb rise for not winning that, however.

Form & Verdict
Has only raced on soft or heavy ground; held narrow lead before last-flight fall at Sandown (2m4f, soft) in January but only sixth in her next two handicaps, at 3m and 2m3f; there are races in her off this mark and cheekpieces are added.

Cheekpieces have been installed this season, with a good second at Southwell (2m4f, good) on first occasion but she was not in quite the same form on soft ground on either start since; stamina to prove after one attempt at 3m (last March) and improvement is needed on this chase debut.

There's been sufficient promise in her qualifying races to believe this low a mark might be manageable now sent into handicaps and she returns with her yard having winners; respected.

Glimpses of promise in a bumper and maiden hurdles; came in for some support on her handicap and seasonal debut at Southwell (2m4f, good) last month, when doing much of the work before weakening to be an 18l third; tongue-tie now goes on and no surprise if she finds an improved finishing effort.

Beat just two finishers in her Irish point; not a lot to shout about since that in all sorts of races and might not be straightforward (high head carriage evident last time).
