Form & Verdict
Stayed on for 100-1 third over 6f at Carlisle, then scored over 7.5f at Beverley (good to firm) where she was much shorter in the betting; big player on form but perhaps isn't crying out for this drop back in trip.

Won a novice hurdle last May and convincingly at York (2m, good to firm; 4lb higher today) in July; however, comfortably held twice off his revised mark, before a heavy defeat in October when last seen; had wind surgery last month and perhaps best watched this time.
