No more than moderate efforts when third here and sixth on her Worcester handicap debut but both of those good enough to give her a shout, especially if going up in trip helps (second in an Irish point).

Bumper winner who is still unexposed over hurdles; lacked the pace to land a telling blow on recent handicap debut at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) but kept on well and was beaten under 5l in the end; that was her first run since last summer and it might have done her good.
