Bled from the nose when pulling up at Worcester in July and she ran as if something was amiss, jumping badly to her right, at Fontwell on latest outing; competitive mark judged on plenty of other form but a note of caution has been sounded.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up in an Irish point but she's been well held in all four runs under rules including on her handicap/chase debut at Worcester (2m4f, good) 25 days ago; that was after a break and has had wind surgery since but she still needs a transformation.

Possible to forgive last month's stable/seasonal debut, in which she did too much out in front over a trip longer than optimum; more in her favour here, and 2lb below her one winning mark; some appeal.

Form & Verdict
Just 1-10 over hurdles and she fell in her final run last term but she's feasibly treated on her best form at up to 2m4f and seems versatile ground-wise; represents in-form yard and needs watching in the market on her chase/seasonal debut.

Added to her hurdle win in France when scoring over fences at Ffos Las (2m5f, good) in October but she's struggled since and was beaten a long way back over hurdles two weeks ago; goes back up in trip but she's still above her last winning mark and has plenty to prove back over fences.

Point winner who is 0-10 under rules but she's unexposed over fences and did well to finish runner-up behind Ho Que Qui at Ffos Las (out of weights; tongue-tie added) last time, after jumping right throughout; now returns to a clockwise track and has claims if she can build on that last run.

Has record of 1-9 over fences but she got back near her best when runner-up off reduced mark at Perth (3m, good to soft) in May; now drops back in trip but she still looks feasibly treated and her hurdle win came after an absence; dangerous on her return.
