Non-stayer in two 3m Cornish points, but both the bumpers which preceded those and two hurdles place finishes this spring (2m-2m1f) have suggested an intermediate trip may suit; mark is no gift, but still of interest.

Fairly useful form when placed four times over 1m2f on the Flat for Andrew Balding last year; raced too freely on her first two stable/hurdle starts, easily brushed aside by short-odds winner when remote second at Stratford (2m, good) this month, but there is still hope she might transfer more of her Flat ability to this code.
