Form & Verdict
Looked promising when making winning bumper debut at Warwick in January and something out of the ordinary when strolling clear in a Listed race at Sandown two months later; both those runs were on soft ground, so today's quicker surface is an unknown, but she's closely related to the useful hurdler Hooper who handles good ground very well; fascinating runner on hurdling debut.

Form & Verdict
Started her career with a point win and a demolition of modest rivals in a novice hurdle at Hexham (good to soft); found Carole's Pass too strong over C&D (good; 1-4 favourite) three weeks ago but she's still low mileage and may well have more to offer; not discounted by any means.

Won her first three bumpers (including on this course) before a fine sixth to Facile Vega at Cheltenham in March, and she made a smooth transition to hurdling when landing the odds at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) in November; that form doesn't look anything special but she's open to a good deal of improvement; high on the list.
