Form & Verdict
No show at all in two 2m handicap hurdles following 15 months out, including returned to good ground latest; hardly a solid option, though this is her chase debut and a tongue-tie is added.

Has proved to be a revelation since being fitted with a tongue-tie, winning her last seven races and remains unbeaten in four runs over fences; there is not knowing when this winning streak will come to an end but she still looks to be ahead of the handicapper and the one to beat once more.

Effectively runs off 3lb lower here than when last week's chase success in a Newton Abbot match (2m, good) completed her six-timer inside 15 days; unraced right-handed so far during her winning streak, but no real reason why that or the return to hurdling should present a problem; 10lb well in.

Form & Verdict
Won three handicap hurdles within the space of four runs last year (all at 2m on goodish ground) and the last of those was off this mark; may have needed the run last time after a break and showed some aptitude for fences when an 18l third at Uttoxeter in October.

Front-runner who won three times (once over C&D) last spring; pulled up over fences at Worcester last month but her second there in May was a fairly good effort and she reverts to hurdling on a workable mark.

0-12 over hurdles but often placed; chase debut at Worcester was encouraging (2m, good) but she was lacklustre on her return visit when the 2m4f trip was no excuse; not entirely sure what to expect.

No threat to easy winner Beorma when third of five on chasing debut here (2m, good) two weeks ago but that run was still quite encouraging, and she might be better suited by this longer trip; won't mind if the ground softens; one to consider.
