Form & Verdict
Unable to win in these colours on the Flat but there was plenty of promise, notably when third in a 1m4f handicap at Salisbury (RPR 83); seems to go on most ground and should make a hurdler; cheekpieces sported of late are left off.

A fair hurdles winner (also fair on Flat) for Ben Brookhouse; pulled up on his first two runs for current yard at Catterick and here this year though and he also came in last of eight on the Flat for R Mike Smith three weeks ago; very hard to warm to.

Three wins last spring and a career best to score at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) this March, albeit with half the hurdles omitted; ran creditably at Kelso (2m5f, good) 12 weeks ago but that fourth of six suggests that she needs to raise her game again.
