Won by 3l at Wincanton and that form reads well; could have a say for in-form yard

Won on hurdle debut at Catterick; others have stronger form but she's open to improvement

Improvement needed but there can be optimism she'll be capable of better; not discounted

Easy Plumpton win; remains to be seen where limitations lie; this is drastically tougher
