Ex-French mare; fortunate to win small-field Catterick novice (1m7f, good) for Paula Smith on British debut in March 2025 and soundly beaten in all five subsequent handicaps, the last four times for new stable this year; drops back in trip (from 2m4f).

Scored twice (at up to 2m3f) in early 2025 but she's shown little after 12 months off in a pair of handicaps at Catterick and Sedgefield for her current yard this year; others appeal more.

Form & Verdict
Won a maiden at Leicester (7f, soft) in October 2023 for Peter Chapple-Hyam and she has winning jumpers in her attractive pedigree; however, she was tailed off in a Listed race in November 2023 and has been absent since; changed hands for 2,000gns last August; may be best watched on hurdle debut.

Has shown some hurdling ability for new stable this year and a recent defeat on her Flat handicap debut is not viewed too harshly but she's not the most obvious answer on this handicap hurdle debut.

5 yo Mare

OR:

Form & Verdict
There's potential in her pedigree and she was backed into 13-2 on debut in a bumper at Newcastle (2m, AW) in January; interesting to see if her supporters return but she finished a soundly beaten seventh of nine and considerable improvement is required.

Built upon her encouraging stable/hurdle debut when beating a good yardstick at Wetherby (2m, soft) in February and looked set to justify very skinny odds before last-flight fall at Catterick (2m, good) last month; leading contender on this handicap debut.
