Kept on well to justify favouritism at Wetherby (3m, good) last month and is now 3-18 over hurdles; might be a shade vulnerable after recent 5lb rise but at least we know she's in good heart.

Inconsistent and winless over the last two seasons but she was a creditable second over C&D (good) ten days ago off this career-low mark; in the mix if backing up that performance with another good run.
