Form & Verdict
Irish point win in January 2020; well beaten every time in nine-race career under rules except when third of ten in novice handicap chase at Catterick (1m7f, soft) in December 2020; that had looked a promising effort and would leave her very well handicapped with a repeat but she's been absent 593 days and left Christian Williams; new trainer had a reappearance winner on Friday.

Three-time hurdle winner who is rated lower over fences after struggling in her first two attempts in late 2021; however, she gave it a right go on returning to this discipline over C&D three weeks ago when conceding the lead only late on (Shaw's Cross runner-up); this is a higher grade but she is entitled to a second look.
