Successful in both completed starts this term, latest in ready fashion against her own sex at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good); on a career-high mark and goes back against males but arrives in top form.

Bounced back to form with C&D win under Ciaran O'Shea this month and is now 3-15 over hurdles; still on workable mark after recent 5lb rise; obvious contender if in similar mood again.

Led close home to land quite valuable prize for Dan Skelton at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) last summer; not at same level on any of three subsequent starts for new stable but ran well for long way when fourth of five at Hereford (3m1f, good) this month, after a break, and may be better suited by this shorter trip.

Signed off for Dan Skelton with two wins last summer (about 2m6f); shaped well on stable debut when third at Newcastle in November but pulled up at Chepstow three weeks later, both at about 3m; off 150 days but she's won off similar breaks in the past and not ruled out if back on song.

Runner-up at Warwick (3m2f, good to soft) in March under regular rider Cameron Johnstone-Baker and she's firmly in the picture on that form but two lesser performances have followed and she needs something extra.

Never better than when placed under Cameron Johnstone-Baker at Ascot (2m7f), Kempton (3m, again on good) and Warwick (3m2f, good to soft; behind Super Survivor) on last three outings; a bit extra is needed to win this warm race.

Down the weights but lack of impact in six handicaps (two over this sort of trip) prevents any confidence in her taking advantage; has worn tongue-tie and cheekpieces in recent starts, which are now replaced with blinkers.
