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.

Not beaten far in any of her hurdles, latterly in two handicaps, shaping better than the bare result on both occasions, latest at Taunton (2m3f, good) in December when losing her pitch leaving the back straight before staying on again; one to consider off 3lb lower.

Defied a double penalty when completing her hat-trick over hurdles at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) 18 days ago; connections wasting little time in switching to fences for handicap debut and she looks to have been crying out for this longer trip; on a workable mark and could improve again.
