Back to winning ways at Leicester (1m7f; soft) in November; only one creditable effort in his three outings since but capable off this mark if a change of headgear (first-time visor for blinkers) has a positive effect.

Chasing has not gone to plan this season but better signs back hurdling when fourth of 12 at Chepstow (extended 19.5f, soft) last month, weakening only after a mistake two out; eased another 2lb since and the stable won this race last year; not discounted.

Showed little in three runs at around 2m4f this season before finally opening her account over hurdles at the 12th attempt, when a switch to front-running tactics and a drop in trip at Wincanton (1m7f, good) ten days ago brought about the decisive breakthrough; subsequent penalty may not be enough to prevent another bold showing if she can replicate the effort.
