Form & Verdict
Won three bumpers in 2020 and three times over hurdles since, the latest with pretty useful form in a 2m4f handicap on soft at Sandown in December (blinkered); has run in just three novice races on Flat, best of that form coming over 1m6f on soft here last October when she rallied as if crying out for 2m; gets it today on Flat handicap debut and she's one to note.
