Arrives on a hat-trick; commands major respect despite 7lb rise since latest win

Third to Glen Road at Kelso; 7lb better off with the winner but beginning to look exposed

Three wins in recent weeks; back up in grade but hard to rule out in current form

1-1 in points and has shown promise in maiden hurdles; this step up in trip should suit

Won at Uttoxeter in July; not disgraced at Aintree last time; others have more potential

Has had excuses this season, out of handicap last time; quite interesting in tongue-strap

Fifth at Cheltenham when last seen but will need to be right at her best after long break
