Won against own age-group on hurdling debut at Leicester (1m7f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) last November but has been out of form on the Flat for new stable this season and switches back to this code with quite a bit to prove, including her stamina for 2m4f on slow ground.

Close third over hurdles at Wetherby (3m, soft) in January then won over fences at Catterick (3m1f, soft); ran pretty well when 5l third of three in Sedgefield chase (3m2f, good) last time; arrives in good heart and there can be optimism that she'll be fine now back down in trip; possible player.

Close third over hurdles at Wetherby (3m, soft) in January then made it 3-6 over fences when winning at Catterick (3m1f, soft); has won on good ground; it was a weak race last time but she's unexposed over fences and could still have more to offer in this sphere; respected.

Scored over hurdles at Stratford last May but below par on the AW over the winter, beating just one home in 1m2f handicap at Chelmsford in February; more is required after a break in a change of headgear.

All three of her wins on the Flat have been over 1m2f; failed to beat a rival home at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in November but she ran a better race when fifth of 12 at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) 26 days ago; cheekpieces replace the visor but this is the shortest trip she has encountered since July 2023.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish filly who has shown improved form for new stable, finishing a close second in Hamilton handicap and Fakenham juvenile hurdle (2m, good; jumped right at times); return to clockwise track looks a plus on second attempt under this code; holds solid claims and warrants respect.

Signs of a revival when fourth over fences at Fakenham (2m5f) in January, before 3m5f stretched her (refused at the final fence) on final start for Seamus Mullins; offered little when sent off joint-favourite on stable debut last month; tongue-tie wore then quickly dispensed with and she reverts to hurdles on a workable mark, but with plenty to prove.
