Lightly raced 5yo who returns to a more suitable grade, having faced a stiff task in Class 2 event on reappearance; however, still hasn't backed up the form of her Doncaster win (handicap debut).

Made successful handicap debut at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) last June but that was a slowly-run small-field Class 5 event and she was well beaten twice afterwards; returns from four-month break in a tough race.

Emerged from off the pace to be second in smallish fields over 1m4f here (good/good to firm) last summer, her first two handicaps; absent since finishing tailed off over 2m on AW in July but the first of those runner-up efforts here came off a six-month break so she's evidently capable when fresh; not discounted.

Five-time Flat winner (1m4f); justified strong market support when opening hurdles account here (2m, good to firm) in May, under Sean Bowen and shaping as though this longer trip would suit; up 6lb but remains capable of better after just eight starts in this sphere; leading contender.

Has won once on the Flat in Poland and four times at Catterick (1m4f), but the best she has been able to muster in seven runs over hurdles is when third of nine finishers at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) in November; interesting that Sean Bowen rides for the first time.
