Form & Verdict
Won a bumper at Catterick (1m7f, good to soft) on her debut in March and off the mark at the third attempt over hurdles in France in June (2m2f, very soft); this is a better race but her dam Carole's Spirit was a two-time Listed hurdle winner and she could have more to offer.

Bumper/hurdles winner; third in Listed races at Exeter (2m1f) and Doncaster (2m4f; improved form, just ahead of Pink Legend) when switched to chasing late last year; hampered by Pink Legend when unseating at Huntingdon on latest outing; going beyond 2m4f for the first time is worth a go but she needs three of these rivals to underperform in a major way.

Lightly raced for her age and returned from layoff to win at Aintree festival (2m, good) in April; also ran well in two subsequent competitive handicaps and remains unexposed over this sort of trip but needs to kick on again to overcome current mark.

Stays 3m so always needs a strong pace to chase at this trip, which was the case when winning so well in a big field at the Aintree Grand National meeting (good); never threatened at Plumpton latest but again ran well in keeping on for fifth (behind Our Champ); could well arrive late on the scene to play a part in the finish.
