Half-sister to five winners including Simonsig (high-class bumper and 2m-2m5f hurdle/chase) and Dusart (smart 2m-3m hurdle/chase); won on bumper debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) last December and wasn't disgraced in a Listed race at Sandown in March; returns after another break but she's an interesting contender upped in trip on hurdling debut.

Was gaining second success over hurdles in lowly 2m Kelso mares novice last time; previously ran to much better level of form when placed in Listed/Grade 2 mares' contests; this looks a stiff task though.

Form & Verdict
Point/bumper winner who is 0-12 over jumps under rules; ended last season with fourth of five in a handicap chase but she's finished runner-up six times over hurdles, including a near miss over 3m at Ffos Las (heavy) last December; sets a fair standard on her return and she's respected back in this sphere.

Beaten about 28l when fifth of six here (3m1f, good) last month and is now 0-6 over hurdles; seemed to be travelling okay in the lead before bad jumping error knocked the stuffing out of him that day and remains unexposed over this sort of trip but, nevertheless, others have stronger claims; raced only on good/good to soft ground.

Showed glimpses of ability in maiden/novice company over hurdles (2m-2m6f; good/good to soft), but proved disappointing when switched to handicaps last time at Ludlow (2m5f); may do better in time but she doesn't appear to be particularly well treated despite being 4lb lower here.

Her worst performance in Irish points had been recorded on soft, so perhaps February's Plumpton failure on similar ground ought not to have surprised; nicely progressive in staying handicaps otherwise with wins at Taunton and Ascot, though the 7lb rise since the latter asks a stiff question.

Showed improved form and a willing attitude to get off the mark over hurdles on handicap debut at Taunton (good to soft) last month, keeping on stoutly over 3m; 3lb rise looks manageable, but the drop back to 2m4f is a slight concern as she appeared to need every yard of the longer trip; leading player all the same with Harry Cobden back in the saddle.
