Just 1-17 over hurdles, the win gained at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last summer, but she made a satisfactory reappearance last month and her current mark is workable; considered each-way.

Bumper winner who was off the mark over hurdles here last July; there wasn't much wrong with her chase debut here (2m5f, soft) in September and she should go on from that following a good comeback against an in-form rival in a Chepstow hurdle (2m7f, good) last month.

Just 1-16 over hurdles when trained by Evan Williams and was unable to justify odds-on favouritism when only sixth of 12 here (2m5f, good) on last month's stable debut; may yet come good for Harry Derham, though, and this move back up in trip will suit; wears refitted tongue-tie; gained her win on good to firm but has form on good to soft; 3lb wrong.
