0-10 but she ran well when second here (2m3f, good) in March and rallied for a respectable fifth at Taunton (good) three weeks ago on her first crack at 3m; shaped last time as though today's extra yardage could be in her favour and she might be in the mix.

Three hurdle wins (Hereford and twice at Newton Abbot); she's still finding her way over fences, having unseated on Stratford debut and made a respiratory noise at Newton Abbot; improved fourth (beaten over 12l) at Uttoxeter a fortnight ago, however; it's likely she'll sit handy dropped back to 2m.
