Easily best effort when third in Huntingdon novice in December; she holds leading claims

Irish point winner; in the frame in pair of bumpers; not without interest going hurdling

Well held in two juvenile hurdles for current yard; needs wind surgery to spark progress

Modest 1m3f Flat winner; goes hurdling for in-form Jennie Candlish yard; not ruled out

Poor form on Flat recently so lots more needed on hurdling debut

No show in a trio of runs in this sphere; it's very easy to look elsewhere here
