Comment: Twice a winner on the Flat and she made a successful handicap debut over hurdles at Fontwell four weeks ago (2m1f, good), albeit she did her best to throw it away after the last when hanging sharply to her right; moved through the race like one who was ahead of her mark though and going this way round may help.
