0-4 in bumpers but was Listed placed and only real blip came in a Grade 2; well beaten in a Listed hurdle last time (tongue tied after wind surgery) but that was a tough task and she had run well on hurdling debut at Sedgefield.

Listed form in bumpers and over hurdles; didn't have to improve to win at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft; odds-on) and came up short under a penalty at Ayr (first-time cheekpieces); should give her running and entitled to be involved.
