Easy winner of a mares' chase at Huntingdon in April last year (2m7f, good); fair fourth at Fakenham in January on reappearance; conditions suit; one with a chance.

J: Robert Dunne

T: Tom Gretton

Ended last season with an account-opening win at Huntingdon (2m7f, good); didn't live up to market expectations on Fakenham reappearance last month but may have needed that run and she still has low mileage; in the mix with tongue-tie added.

Seemed to be enjoying hersef in the lead before mid-race mishap at Hereford (3m1f, good; first-time blinkers) last month but she's now 0-9 over fences and has basically become disappointing.

Form & Verdict
Won a bumper and over fences for Matt Crawley last season but has improved since undergoing wind surgery for her new trainer this year; appreciated the step up in trip when winning for the second time in succession at Wincanton (3m1f, good) 12 days ago; up 7lb but should be hard to beat.

Has improved since undergoing wind surgery for her new trainer this year and went back-to-back at Leicester (2m4f, good to soft) and Wincanton (3m1f, good); last run was too bad to be true but she did go up 7lb for that last win in a race that fell apart.

Built upon a satisfactory stable debut when scoring by a neck at Leicester (2m4f, good to soft) this month and is now 2-7 over fences; only 2lb higher here and will be suited by the faster ground; strong claims if stamina holds out over the new trip.
