Form & Verdict
Disappointing when last seen but otherwise generally progressive at 2m-2m4f, notably winning at the Cheltenham Festival last term; jury's out on whether she'll stay this new trip (mixed messages in pedigree).

Below her best this season but has been running over fences and chasing doesn't appear to suit; won two Grade 2 mares' novice hurdles in early 2023 (2m4f/2m1f, good to soft/soft) and second in a mares' Grade 2 last January (3m, good); could bounce back with big run now reverting to hurdles.
