Ten-time hurdle winner, including over C&D, but last success came at Market Rasen (extended 2m4f, good) in July last year off 7lb higher; mixed fortunes this term but second at Kelso two weeks ago and could have a say if repeating that effort back in trip.

Came from off the pace to win C&D (good) selling handicap for George Bewley in May, her tenth hurdling start, and also ran well when third here (2m6f, good) on last month's stable debut; this drop back in trip is probably the right move; ought to make her presence felt.
