Form & Verdict

Form & Verdict
Dual-purpose performer who returned to hurdling with creditable second over C&D (good to soft) in December but she failed to repeat the form at Taunton last month; that took her record to 1-19 in this sphere and others look more likely.

Form & Verdict
Made an excellent start to her hurdling career when winning three novice events (2m-2m3f, soft) early last year but she's been disappointing switched to handicaps in her last three starts; mark is falling but was well held in the mud at Kelso last month and she needs to get back on track.
