7/2
Returned as good as ever over hurdles when runner-up at Carlisle and fifth at Windsor (both around 2m) in mid-winter. Ran poorly in the Imperial Cup at Sandown with cheekpieces refitted and now takes a marked step up in distance minus the headgear.

5/2
Winning pointer who scored twice over hurdles last season and added a small-field Exeter chase (3m, good in November. Respectable fifth of 9 in a stronger chase here in December and big player back hurdling after a break with her top stable in really good form.
