Won off her basement mark when dropped back to 1m at Chepstow (soft) in June but has not really built on that performance since and was just a respectable fifth behind James Park Woods over C&D last month.

Maiden who didn't improve for cheekpieces going on over C&D last time and is now given a try in blinkers; yet to run on slower than good but is closely related to a smart soft-ground winner.

A modest 1m2f Flat scorer in April; has hinted at promise on both starts since switched to hurdles, most recently when a staying-on fourth of six in a first-time hood over C&D this month; needs more to figure and looks one for handicaps in due course.
