Form & Verdict
Quite a useful Flat performer for Ed Bethell and Hugo Palmer (four wins at up to 1m2f); never got into the race when 23l fourth in a Uttoxeter mares' maiden on hurdles debut two weeks ago (2m, good; 14-1); improvement is likely; chance

On a reduced mark and she took a step back in the right direction at Sedgefield in November in this headgear combination, but she was still soundly beaten in third and needs to build on that effort today.

Not firing on all cylinders this year but her respectable fifth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) 19 days ago was a step back in the right direction and it's worth remembering that her only hurdle win was gained over this C&D.

Out of form on the Flat/over hurdles in the spring and, following a three-month break, fell in early stages of a recent chase; should cope if there's rain about but needs to get career back on track.
