Made it 2-5 over hurdles when landing a mares' handicap at Stratford (2m3f, good) last July but she flopped in a three-runner race in final run last year; has bit to prove after 218 days but she has potential in this sphere and needs a close look in market.

C&D maiden scorer; didn't quite run up to her previous best in taking a 2m3f Stratford mares' handicap when last seen in July (good; made all), but slightly longer trips are probably that bit better a suit and today's additional yardage is all to the good; 7lb rise demands extra.

Clear second on hurdling debut at Fakenham in May and again ran well when third at Uttoxeter (also 2m4f, good) later that month, albeit she seemed to lack a change of gear before staying on in the closing stages; can make her presence felt here.

Remains a maiden under rules, latest when given an attacking ride in first-time cheekpieces (retained) but ending up a well-beaten third of seven finishers at Warwick (2m3f, good) four weeks ago; steps up in trip but stamina may be an issue.

Her dam is Snow Leopardess, who won the Becher Chase for these connections; this mare has been a long way from hitting those heights but ran well for a fair way at Fakenham (2m4f, good) four weeks ago when back from a break, and she could build on that effort; first-time cheekpieces replace a hood.
