Aided by first-time cheekpieces when good second of 12 in handicap hurdle at this course (21.6f, soft) 12 days ago. Mark remains unchanged and holds solid claims.

Found improvement since fitted with visor, scoring for second time when landing 8-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, soft) 21 days ago. Remains feasibly treated and must enter calculations. Blinkers now tried.

Best effort yet on second hurdles start when runner-up in maiden at Lingfield in February. Unseated early on at Plumpton on return last month but figures off a handy mark and could be a player here.

Verdict
Runner-up on the second of 3 outings over hurdles last season but the form is no better than modest. May do better now sent handicapping, however, and will be straighter for last month's Chepstow return.

Has her quirks, but resumed from a break/wind op an improved performer earlier this year, opening her account at Stratford (22f) in May before placing at Worcester and Fontwell. Can make presence felt.
