Form & Verdict
0-5 on the Flat in France but ran to fair level when placed in three maidens (1m4f-1m7f) and seems versatile regarding ground; hood removed after one use; worth a glance in the betting before this stable/hurdle debut.

22-1 when she made a winning stable debut in Newton Abbot novice (2m1f) in September and was a respectable fourth of 13 in C&D handicap (also good to soft) in January; doubled her tally when scoring at Huntingdon (2m, good) last month but it was a tired mistake at the last when 15l second a fortnight later; still needs considering.

Signed off for the Twiston-Davies stable with two underwhelming runs in good-quality bumpers towards end of last season and was sold for £6,000 in May but looked promising when second on debut at Wincanton (1m7f, heavy) in January and it will be very interesting to see what her new trainers can do with her over hurdles.
