Won in first-time blinkers (retained since) at Taunton (3m, good) in April and had 9l to spare when following up at Stratford (3m2f, good to firm); also effective on soft/good to soft; climbing the weights but leading claims nevertheless.

Led close home to score in first-time blinkers at Taunton (3m, good) last month and is now 2-11 over hurdles; not always one to rely upon heavily but remains well handicapped on older form and unexposed as a stayer.

Down the weights but lack of impact in six handicaps (two over this sort of trip) prevents any confidence in her taking advantage; has worn tongue-tie and cheekpieces in recent starts, which are now replaced with blinkers.

Irish point (debut) and bumper winner; yet to improve on bumper form over hurdles (bled from the nose when pulled up at Wetherby on her penultimate start); ran well without really threatening the winner at Chepstow (2m3f, good; first time hood and tongue-tie) latest but that was promising and she still has potential; player.

Point winner in January 2023 (3m, soft); returning from nine months off when third of 12 in a novice hurdle here five weeks ago (2m, soft) and she didn't run badly, outpaced from two out and making a mess of the last; going back up in trip can help; could sneak some more prize money.
