Should appreciate the return to further but needs improvement to defy this mark.

Career best effort at Kelso (2m, good to soft) last month; scope for more back up in trip.

Unexposed and, with the yard's runners in good nick, she's a player in hat-trick bid

Won back-to-back C&D mares' hurdles but has found things tough since; bit to prove.

Career best last time, when a close second at Hereford (2m3f, good to firm); player.

Placed twice over hurdles; still early days but this might just prove too competitive.

Well beaten in both codes since scoring at Perth; won't find things easy in this grade.
