Form & Verdict
Fair form (won once) over 1m3f-1m4f on Flat; made hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) in January, finishing 11l behind Feet On The Ground; better when third of 12 at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) three weeks ago but she needs to progress from that as well; handicap hurdle debut.

Fair Flat racer who made the frame on her first two hurdling starts and was evidently well suited by switch to good ground when readily winning four-runner Market Rasen handicap (2m) by 12l a week ago; needs to be taken very seriously under 7lb penalty here.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced maiden, best effort when third in novice at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) on penultimate start; she cut out in the closing stages of handicap debut at Warwick (extended 1m7f, good to soft) three weeks ago, however, and needs to better that form by some way.
