Form & Verdict
Had a few goes in handicap hurdles/chase before a clear winner over fences at Exeter (3m, heavy) in April; bumped into one back hurdling off the same mark there (good) since but hurdle mark up just 4lb (raised 10lb over fences); likely to go well again.

Just 1-14 over hurdles but she made it 2-5 over fences when scoring at Fontwell (3m2f, soft) last month; came up a bit short when second at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) 12 days ago, but that was another good effort and she's respected on this drop back in trip.

Has recaptured form for new connections but she went back up 7lb for scraping home at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) in December and she found little at Huntingdon on her only start since; new trip is an added query.

8lb higher than for last year's convincing win in this race which was staged at Cheltenham; only subsequent win in six races came at the expense of just three rivals at Ludlow in November (3m1f, good); lacklustre in her last three starts and hard to support with any confidence.

Made it 3-5 over fences with win here (3m1f, good) in November and good Listed second at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) next time; perhaps unsuited by soft ground when pulled up at Hereford (3m1f, soft) in December last time; could bounce back with a big run if conditions suit.

Form & Verdict
Won two Irish points in late 2022; wasn't an immediate success when switched to Britain but her second of three finishers at Musselburgh (3m, soft) in January was more encouraging; has a better chance now handicapping than in her latest two defeats (in Listed company, then a maiden).
