Form & Verdict
Unplaced all six hurdle runs, most recently when pulled up in soft-ground handicap on stable debut in January; combination of wind surgery, first-time hood and return to good ground could plausibly prompt a better performance here, though; worth a glance in the betting.

Won when the hood went back on at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) in January and followed up at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft); disappointing at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) last time but she was missing the hood, which returns today along with a first-time tongue-tie; could have a part to play.

Hereford (2m3f, good) winner under Fern O'Brien in April last year and virtually matched that effort on her comeback run at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in November; best forgiven her follow-up effort back there in December as the soft ground went against her; wouldn't want any rain but returns on a competitive mark and not ruled out.

Won hurdle debut at Doncaster (2m3f, good) in December 2023 but a long way below that level on her six starts since; down the weights and more competitive under Fern O'Brien over C&D latest; in most circumstances she would need to improve on that but this could be a very weak race.

Capitalised upon some considerable help from the handicapper when winning over C&D (good) just under a year ago and returns here after a decent effort at Kelso this month, but she's nothing like the force of old and has become inconsistent.
