Form & Verdict
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.

Course scorer and also a dual 3m winner at Wetherby and Southwell in the spring; lost her chance with a blunder 3 out at Perth (3m) 11 days ago so can't be ruled out.

Hard to knock her last five efforts in handicap hurdles at about 3m and no reason why she won't give another good account of herself; might be a tad high in the weights now.

Form & Verdict
Yet to progress from her winning hurdle debut at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) in November and was just a respectable third over that C&D on last month's handicap debut (first-time cheekpieces); might have untapped potential over this longer trip but others appeal more.
