Irish point (debut) and bumper winner; yet to improve on bumper form over hurdles (bled from the nose when pulled up at Wetherby on her penultimate start); ran well without really threatening the winner at Chepstow (2m3f, good; first time hood and tongue-tie) latest but that was promising and she still has potential; player.

Point/useful bumper winner; made mistakes when third of nine on her hurdle debut at Southwell in October, after which she underwent wind surgery (her second such operation); 11-4 second favourite for a 2m3f mares' maiden at Wetherby on Boxing Day but dropped right away and was subsequently found to have bled from the nose; has ability and this is weak so she has to be considered despite the obvious risks; hood now enlisted.

Consistent this season if forgiven her penultimate blip, after which she underwent wind surgery; it was a respectable effort at Haydock next time as that was a competitive Class 2 handicap (2m5f); goes well on good ground and looks a big player.
