Form & Verdict

Placed in Irish points; improved on earlier handicap hurdle form when winning at Hereford in December (2m5f, soft; acts on good to soft) but heavy ground at Ffos Las since proved to be too much and she was pulled up; should have some potential now switched to fences.

Form & Verdict

Won sole Irish point; close up in handicap hurdles at 2m-2m7f early in 2022 but had slow start to chase career, finishing remote on debut, then never threatening in fourth at Huntingdon on Boxing Day (2m4f, soft), albeit not too far behind a subsequent winner; may yet do better.

Form & Verdict

Dual hurdle winner last midwinter (2m4f/2m5f; good to soft) but she would have finished behind Whatsdastory on her chase debut at Kempton had that rival not declined the last; pulled up at Cheltenham since (where Whatsdastory was a fair sixth) and has it to prove as a chaser for now.

Form & Verdict

Beat two rivals in minor 2m5f Hereford contest in October but was too tired to attempt the final fence at Kempton next time; however, she wasn't outclassed at Cheltenham in December (2m4f, good; has won on heavy) and her sights are lowered here.

Form & Verdict

Course winner over hurdles and fences (2m5f, good); has gone close on soft but pulled up in the mud in two chase starts this winter (a long way out at Plumpton in December); could fare a lot better today.
