Form & Verdict
Went very close to losing her maiden status three runs ago but hasn't really kicked on from that, although she did meet interference last time at Plumpton where she would have likely been placed when ridden by Freddie Gordon; dropped 2lb and difficult to rule out.

Has rather mixed record since joining Chris Gordon but looked in very good nick when winning comfortably at Huntingdon (2m, good) last month and a subsequent 6lb rise does not seem excessive.

Form & Verdict
In the first three on good ground over hurdles on her last four starts, all at 2m, and shaped promisingly off this mark on November's handicap debut when just under a 5l third of 13 at Southwell; wouldn't need to improve on that too much to figure if ready to roll on first start since.

Form & Verdict
Made a promising start to her hurdle career when a close second of three at Huntingdon (2m, good) in April and improved on that when fourth in a deeper Warwick maiden two weeks ago; lacks experience in this code but makes handicap debut off a workable mark.
