Made all in small-field C&D (good) contest last month and now 2-2 since cheekpieces were added; another 4lb higher today but the headgear may unlock further improvement; likely contender.
Low-mileage 6yo who displayed significant improvement when upped to 3m for handicap debut at Doncaster (good to soft) in February, winning by over 3l; now with a new stable (was with David Pipe) and could still have a lot more to offer.
0-7 over hurdles; no match for clear winner when second here (2m, soft) in December and well beaten over 2m4f on last month's stable debut; might have needed that recent run and is open to improvement over this new trip but others have much more obvious claims.
Looked in excellent nick when making all for clearcut success at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) in February but was beaten about 30l over that C&D on next two outings; moves back up in trip with questions to answer.
0-5 over hurdles, and absent since remote third in first-time cheekpieces here (2m, soft; behind Yanka Blue) in December; needs to take a big step forward but pedigree offers significant hope she'll be suited by this first venture beyond 2m4f.
Scored off today's mark in first-time cheekpieces at Exeter (2m, good to firm) in October and posted a good effort over 2m4f the following month but was pulled up three weeks ago, after a break, and her Flat pedigree raises doubts over the suitability of this trip.
