Progressive on the Flat and over hurdles last year, collecting eight wins (one over C&D) in total; absent since respectable fifth in Scottish County Hurdle at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in January, though, and current mark demands another personal best.

Four-time Flat winner, including C&D, who has been all or nothing since scoring over hurdles at Cartmel in July; three AW no-shows followed good second over C&D (soft; 40-1) in October but market support predicted a going day when scoring here (1m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; might not want the ground to get too quick but otherwise a key player under 2lb nudge.

0-16 over hurdles and her tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern, but she shaped with significant promise when fifth on last month's stable debut at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) and probably sat too far off the pace when failing to build on that performance at Cartmel (2m1f, soft) three weeks later; tries a new trip here; worth a second look.
