Back to life when seventh in the Martin Pipe (2m5f, soft) at Cheltenham after not getting the clearest run and built on that to win by 3.25l at Cork (2m3f, yielding) under a claimer; Townend takes over now and she looks like a mare on an upward curve having disappointed earlier in her career.

Has failed to kick on since chase debut win at Gowran Park (2m, heavy) in November; however, the best run of her career came when fourth of five finishers in the Grade 1 Aintree Hurdle (2m4f, good to soft) last April and on that evidence there could be some mileage in her mark; not written off.
