Form & Verdict
Won her bumper by 12l and placed in both runs over hurdles, beaten 7l at Worcester (2m, good) and then a 19l third of 16 at Hereford (2m3f, good to soft); that wasn't her best run but the front two aren't bad; major player in this company.

Form & Verdict
Won a good-ground Southwell bumper last spring but she weakened out of contention on her hurdling debut here and then finished tailed off at Fakenham (never looked happy on the track); should be capable of better given that bumper promise.
