    Three hurdle wins, the latest off this mark at Market Rasen in March (2m7f); mixed bag in his three chase starts but rallied for second in the latest at Perth (2m4f); has form on most ground, bar anything quicker than good.

    Form & Verdict
    First run for this yard but remains in the same ownership; tailed off in a hot Aintree handicap hurdle last time but she was decidedly smart on her day in that discipline, albeit over shorter distances (finished second on her only attempt at 3m when just three ran); happy on good ground and just a question of what she'll make of fences; ran okay when tried in cheekpieces once before.

    Ex-Lucy Wadham; useful hurdler; runner-up to a subsequent winner in a two-runner 3m novice handicap on chase/stable debut at Uttoxeter (good, lost a shoe); possibly better at this shorter trip; chance

    Faced very tough task when second of five to subsequent Cheltenham Festival runner-up Love Envoi at Sandown (2m4f, soft) in January and 2m on good ground proved too sharp at Doncaster last time; the last time she ran in a handicap she won at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) in December 2021 and she's 3lb lower today; this should be run to suit and she could be a player.
