Jumped stickily and hung left on June's hurdling debut, but back on track with a facile Worcester win latest (2m, good), over 7l ahead of La Lolita eased down; no shortage of encouragement for longer trips in pedigree (half-sister won three 2m4f-3m hurdles for these connections).

Dual good-ground bumper winner, latterly at Hexham in May; lacked fluency and was very disappointing when switched to hurdling in early June but it won't be a surprise if she fares considerably better here.

0-10 but she's shown promise over hurdles and was travelling well when she fell three out in a maiden at Market Rasen (2m6f, good) ten days ago; still has potential in this sphere and she's not ruled out back in trip.

Beaten 12l when fifth of nine at 11-1 on last month's handicap debut at Carlisle (2m1f, soft); improvement is needed but today's forecast better ground could be a positive and she's not ruled out each-way.

Very well suited by the hike up in trip at Huntingdon (3m1f, soft) last week, where she won without coming off the bridle; remains lightly raced after only five hurdle runs and is 3lb ahead of the handicapper under her 7lb penalty here; could be very hard to beat.
