Didn't fire when dropped back to 2m six weeks ago, her final start for Richard Bandey, but was in good form at about 2m4f beforehand, notably when making all at Hereford (good) in April; recently changed hands for £20,000 and now tackles a new trip on stable debut; interesting to see what Dan Skelton can do with her.

Back to form in handicaps as recent figures would imply; did go up 7lb for the win at Hereford (2m3f, good) and only third next time, but has shown before that this mark is workable; likes to lead and this drop back in trip could work.

Form & Verdict
Third in a handicap hurdle here in May 2025; however, well beaten in two other handicaps on either side of a brief but successful stint in points; it's hard to make a compelling case but Sean Bowen has been booked.

0-10 and came in a remote fourth of five in 2m2f handicap hurdle at Exeter in October; in winning form in points last month though so she's not totally out of things.

Three-time hurdle winner but below her best in that discipline for current yard and again when a remote third on chase debut at Ludlow (2m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces after wind surgery); others preferred.

Hurdles form has dipped sharply for new yard but has she possibilities provided the combination of first-time cheekpieces, switch to fences and a physical tweak (wind surgery since last run) prompts a revival; back on last winning mark.
