Went close off 3lb higher at Hamilton (1m3f, good) last June but she's finished down the field in three starts since; may have needed her reappearance run at Newcastle last month but that was a 12l defeat and she's now 0-8; others preferred.

Didn't appear to quite get home at Leicester (1m4f, good) last month having only gone down narrowly at Hamilton (1m3f, good) the time before; form of her latest AW outing when fourth of eight at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) in June has worked out well; respected with cheekpieces given a go.

Unable to beat a rival on AW on last two starts but could be a different proposition now back hurdling and back here, as two visits to Doncaster (both C&D) have yielded an easy novice win (good) and a good second in a handicap (soft; in November); very much of interest given record at the track.
