Off the mark over hurdles at the fourth attempt when winning a 2m4f novice here (heavy) in January; faded before stamina became an issue in the race won by On We Go over 3m here last time; questions to answer after that display.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up on five of her seven starts, including at 1-3 at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) latest which is a bit disconcerting; however, she easily won a bumper in September (good to yielding) and holds leading form claims judged on her hurdle debut second at Tramore (2m4f, yielding) in October.
