Made the frame in four consecutive maiden hurdles (1m7f-2m3f) towards the end of last year but didn't appear to be making any progress and her form isn't anything to get too excited about; returns from five-month break with improvement required.

Made it fourth time lucky over hurdles with a comfortable win in big-field maiden at Wetherby (2m3f, soft; 11-10 favourite) on Boxing Day; that form has been boosted by the runner-up recently and this unexposed mare is 4lb well in on this handicap debut; interesting contender.
