Yet to match peak form since returning from long absence in the autumn but her third in first-time cheekpieces at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in late March was a pretty good effort, and she'll be fine on the forecast good ground here.

In good form in spring of 2024; returned from long absence with two low-key runs in November but, after another break, she ran well to a point when fifth of 13 at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) three weeks ago; continues to drop down the weights and she's not ruled out with cheekpieces added.

Lightly raced and generally disappointing since winning soft-ground Wetherby bumper for Hughie Morrison in January 2020 but was back in good form when placed on the Flat in June; changed hands for £16,500 in August and it will be interesting to see what Neil King can do with her over hurdles.

26,000euros 3yo; tenth foal; closely related to useful bumper/hurdle winner Queens Brook, half-sister to smart chaser Shotgun Paddy and useful hurdler/chaser Buster Thomas; dam unraced; with a good stable and, with that pedigree, she's well worth keeping an eye on in the betting.
