Form & Verdict

Sixth foal; half-sister to winners Just Janice (useful 2m-2m4f hurdle), Sheer Liss (bumper), Piaff Bubbles (3m hurdle) and Killaney King (point); dam bumper winner; granddam a Grade 1 winner; scratched earlier this week due to ground (good); fine pedigree and respected for a shrewd yard, so needs a market check.
