0-6 over hurdles; not favoured by the weights when well beaten in Taunton maiden in February and better judged on her respectable handicap fourth at Bangor (2m3f, soft) two starts ago; 2lb wrong today but the faster ground will suit; not ruled out.

Won three handicap hurdles within the space of four runs last year (all at 2m on goodish ground) and the last of those was off this mark; may have needed the run last time after a break and showed some aptitude for fences when an 18l third at Uttoxeter in October.

In good form over hurdles this spring, making all three times (2m, good/good to soft); recent efforts suggest the handicapper may have her measure now but, nevertheless, she can give this a good shot from the front if she jumps well on her chasing debut.
