Form & Verdict
Useful Flat form for William Haggas in winning twice (1m2f/1m3f); highly tried in both runs over hurdles, beaten about 17l in the Grade 2 Adonis at Kempton and a Grade 1 at Aintree; has some size despite her Flat background and disappointing should she not win this en route to something better.
