Won a mares' maiden at Market Rasen (2m, good) last April; runner-up in first two handicaps during the winter but she's been disappointing in last two runs; bit to prove but mark is sliding and she's had wind surgery since her latest effort at Fontwell last month; not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Went very close on hurdling debut at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in January and put a lesser effort behind her when very respectable fifth at Wetherby (2m3f, good) last month, only fading out of contention on the run-in; raced a bit too freely last time so this drop in trip could be a good move in the short term; wears first-time tongue-tie; features prominently in calculations.
