Highly progressive during last season's first chase campaign, culminating in Listed mares' win at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) in February; back to her best when beaten just over 6l by Spindleberry at Doncaster (2m4f, good; Listed) in December and she's 5lb better off with the winner today; won on heavy ground over hurdles; not ruled out each-way at forecast big odds.

First season over fences could barely have gone much better with four wins from five starts, latterly in a 2m4f Listed event at Huntingdon (good to soft) which she won despite jumping out to her left throughout (previous wins were on left-handed tracks); every chance on these terms if resuming where she left off; goes from the front.

Left her December debut (2m, good to yielding) well behind when winning at Punchestown (2m2f, soft to heavy) on New Year's Eve, the front two clear; subsequently sold out of Michael Hickey's yard for £185,000; has joined a top Irish stable and it will be no surprise if she has a part to play.

Bumper winner in 2022 was an expensive purchase afterwards and has been struggling to make the breakthrough over hurdles, albeit solid runs of late under forcing tactics at both Tramore and when second (Ciao Adios third) over 2m at Listowel; back up in trip here and should again be thereabouts.

Still very much in the picture when unseating at Naas in December and bounced back from a lesser run when runner-up at Leopardstown last month; however, was a bit disappointing at Naas 17 days ago and probably needs a career best.

Impressed on debut at Newcastle (2m, AW) in January; only won by a neck there next time but she did well to get up in that steadily run race; should get a proper gallop here and this unbeaten 5yo is a possible player.
