Form & Verdict
Did well in bumpers and came good at the second attempt over hurdles at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in December; bettered that form when second at Wincanton (2m5f, heavy) in January; unable to make an impact in the EBF mares' final (handicap) at Newbury last month but bold show looks assured back in a novice.

Displayed promise in two bumpers in the autumn but was remote when fourth here (2m5f, good to soft) on last month's hurdle debut and needs to take a big step forward today.

No sign of ability over hurdles, including a low-grade handicap; a wind operation since last seen (also tongue-tied first time) needs to spark huge improvement.
