J: Jonathan Burke

Made underwhelming chase debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July but looked suited by step up in trip when close second over hurdles at Worcester (2m7f, good) last month; big player if first-time cheekpieces help her transfer that form to fences.

Can front-run; did well in May-July 2025; although well beaten, latest start (chase debut) was at least a step back in that direction; probably needs overall improvement stepping up from about 2m4f.

Clear second on hurdling debut at Fakenham in May and again ran well when third at Uttoxeter (also 2m4f, good) later that month, albeit she seemed to lack a change of gear before staying on in the closing stages; can make her presence felt here.

Remains a maiden under rules, latest when given an attacking ride in first-time cheekpieces (retained) but ending up a well-beaten third of seven finishers at Warwick (2m3f, good) four weeks ago; steps up in trip but stamina may be an issue.

Her dam is Snow Leopardess, who won the Becher Chase for these connections; this mare has been a long way from hitting those heights but ran well for a fair way at Fakenham (2m4f, good) four weeks ago when back from a break, and she could build on that effort; first-time cheekpieces replace a hood.
