Not too much encouragement in three maiden hurdles at up to 2m4f but there was a whiff of something on penultimate start and this new trip might help on her handicap debut.

Well held in both bumpers and fared no better when tailed off on last month's switch hurdle debut; goes up in trip but big improvement needed.

Big prices and well back in bumpers at Fontwell and Plumpton; needs massive improvement now hurdling.

Fifth foal; half-sister to useful Irish hurdler Aldo The Apache and another hurdle winner; dam placed 2m4f hurdle, half-sister to high-class jumper Fundamentalist; worth a glance in the betting but stable has only occasional bumper winners.
