Form & Verdict
Bought for £40,000 after winning a point bumper just over a year ago; beaten 42l minimum in three novice hurdles for Henry Daly, all at around 2m, but may be a different story now handicapping over a trip that should certainly bring out more from her.

2-3 since switched to handicaps, and the form of last month's Ludlow success (2m5f, good to soft) has recently been well advertised by the close second; moves up in trip today; could easily have more to offer.

Won a point bumper in January 2022; well held under rules until handicap debut 18 days ago when she won seven-runner race at Hereford (good) on step up from 2m to 2m6f; 5-4 favourite that day and plenty in that performance suggested she would stay further; raised 6lb but may well follow up.
