Form & Verdict
Bought for £100,000 after an easy Irish point win and she made a promising start for her current yard when a running-on third in bumper over C&D in April; this daughter of My Dream Boat looks to have plenty more to offer so she's a big player.

Three novice hurdle wins last season (various ground), including a Listed mares' event at Haydock in April when last seen (2m5f, good); she has a tough task against Kabral Du Mathan on this chase debut but there is every chance that this point winner will run well.

Has just over 5l to find with White Noise on their Warwick clash in February (2m3f, heavy) but a 5lb pull with the winner can only help her cause and perhaps 3m on soft ground stretched her when a remote second at Doncaster (Listed); has to enter the reckoning.

An improving mare who won two of her first three races over hurdles and wasn't disgraced at Warwick when raised into a Grade 2 (2m3f, heavy); unraced beyond an extended 2m4f under rules but she won a 3m point and there's stamina in her pedigree.
