Form & Verdict
Narrowly beaten by Komedy Kicks (runs in the 2.30) on her hurdle debut and made no mistake at Southwell three weeks ago (in a tongue-strap, retained); useful performer on the Flat (peak RPR 97) and looks to have been found another good opening over hurdles.

Useful on the Flat and now doing well over hurdles, completing a hat-trick last summer and adding a handicap at Stratford (2m2f, good) in October; that was only narrowly but she's just the 2lb higher and has undergone wind surgery.
