Rated 73 on the Flat; won 1m4f handicap on good ground at Listowel in September; second when odds-on for hurdling debut over C&D last month; only found Total Look (one of leading contenders for Triumph Trial at Cheltenham on Saturday) too strong at Navan latest; strongest form on offer and she'll take some beating.
