Form & Verdict
Won good-ground Irish point in the spring and was second on all three subsequent hurdling starts, albeit left well behind by easy winner when upped to 3m for Southwell handicap on latest occasion; drops back in trip here and is a likely contender; had wind op in July.

Happiest hunting ground is Cartmel, but a record of 225244P around today's C&D includes a neck second in this race in 2024 off 5lb lower, with Well Educated 23l behind; miles off his best in one start apiece at each of these venues so far this term, however.

Pulled up on soft ground this month, after a layoff, but this three-time course winner is now only 1lb higher than when holding on for narrow C&D (good) success last summer; dangerous to ignore.

Form & Verdict
Weakened into fifth in recent Cartmel handicap (2m6f, good to soft) but the ground may have turned against her there and she's probably better judged on her two maiden seconds in July (2m4f/2m7f); has a good chance at today's weights.

Flattered by second placing in a 21.5f Tramore beginners' chase on stable debut when benefitting from carnage at the second last fence; however, she was staying on pretty nicely so looks worth a go at this longer trip back over hurdles; visor goes on.

Is 3-16 over hurdles but not at the same level over fences as of yet; there are signs of improvement, though and her run at Perth last time was her best so far; could be more improvement in new set of headgear.
