Form & Verdict
Useful over middle distances on the Flat (five wins) and made promising stable/hurdle debut when third at Haydock (1m7f, good) last month; that run came after a layoff and she'll be dangerous if it brought her on.

Useful on the Flat for Jack Channon up to autumn 2024; however, her form went the wrong way last year and she was sold for 10,000gns in December; needs to turn things around on this hurdle/stable debut

Raced only four times and has produced form figures of 122 in good-ground attempts, the success in bumper; faller on hurdles debut, then earned her latest silver medal at Kempton (2m) where she was no match for the winner but ran respectably; one of the main players.

Form & Verdict
Won good-ground Southwell bumper for Ben Pauling in spring 2025 and made the frame in soft-ground Listed event at Cheltenham in November but didn't get far on hurdling debut in December and was remote when third at Lingfield (2m3f, good to soft) later that month; makes stable debut after a break and with a point to prove.
