Form & Verdict
First go beyond 1m2f was a stylish win at Epsom (1m4f, good to soft; 5lb higher today) in July; also goes well on soft, including over 1m2f at Sandown last week and this step back up in trip is of major interest.

She's run reasonably well, albeit without seriously threatening, in her first two handicap hurdles (2m1f/2m, soft/good to soft); won five times on the Flat (at up to 1m4f) and she could have more to offer in this code, but it remains to be seen whether she'll stay this far.

Form & Verdict
Irish filly who's been more miss than hit this season but she won under Keithen Kennedy at Killarney (1m6f, good; acts on soft) 12 days ago when the blinkers first went on; that was also reportedly her second run since a wind operation; best efforts last term were at this sort of trip but its possible that further is now ideal.
