Sole career success came on her second start over hurdles in a dreadfully weak mares novices hurdle at Southwell in November, but it was pleasing to see her build upon a good second to a most talented rival on her hurdles debut nevertheless. Whilst only fourth last time at Exeter and a mark of 121 for her handicap debut is possibly high enough, her riders 10lb claim is helpful.
Has seemingly taken well to hurdling at this trip, and in addition to a success at Towcester (off 110) scored over C&D on her most recent start (off 115) for Kielan Woods late last month. A further 4lbs higher here, but rise is negated by her riders 7lb claim. The one to beat.
A shock winner of a four runner 2m mares novice event at Catterick in March 2016, but runner up twice since, including on latest run at Sedgefield in November.
Slowly improved on each of her three starts over hurdles, and a career best latest when a narrow runner up at Fakenham. May be vulnerable at this trip if her hurdles debut at Ludlow is a reliable guide.
A disappointing turnout numerically, and this looks best left to the recent game C&D winner GRACEFUL LEGEND who has a golden opportunity to follow up. Her riders seven pound claim means that she effectively races from a three pound lower mark here, and she most likely has Cajun Fiddle to beat, with the suspicion being that Alan King's mare has been somewhat harshly handicapped on the basis of her seven length second to La Bague Au Roi on her hurdles debut.
