Sprightly 9yo who completed a quick hat-trick of front-running C&D wins last month and lost out only by a neck off today's mark here on Wednesday; upped in grade but likely to give another good account.

Well held at Beverley (7f, good to firm) last month, but she may have needed the run after four months off and is just 1lb higher than when winning at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last September; respected.

Narrow C&D winner off a pound higher mark last September (only just beaten over C&D next time); not in quite such good form this year, best run when second at Southwell in June (7f); fared less well there last time but quite interesting back here (course record is 2124).
