Suffered dip in form after quite impressive win on chase/handicap debut in the autumn but was back on song when close third in valuable mares' chase at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) three weeks ago; in much calmer waters here and ought to be hard to beat.
Won over hurdles in December and made all in four-runner C&D (good to soft) contest on chasing debut in March; safely held at Stratford since but remains unexposed over fences and that course form counts for a lot.
Dual Flat and dual chase winner in France; returned from long absence with three hurdle runs for Alex Hales last season, the best her second of five behind Annie Nail here (2m7f, good) last month; 5lb better off with her on this British chase debut, and the drop back in trip ought to suit.
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.
Won this race a year ago and was also on target over hurdles here (2m7f, good) last month; again ran well when second in 3m chase (good) three weeks ago but is effectively 10lb higher from out of the weights today.
