J: Toby Wynne

T: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero

Safely held on last month's chasing debut at Ludlow (2m4f, good) but that came after a 489-day absence and she's well handicapped on old hurdling form; no surprise if she gets closer to the target today.

Bumper (AW) and maiden hurdle winner for Alan King but she didn't progress; wore a tongue-tie when fair fifth on debut for this yard in November 2024 and she built on that in added cheekpieces when close second of four at Newcastle (also about 2m4f, good) a fortnight later; makes chase debut after 489 days away with the market likely to offer some clues.

Form & Verdict
Shaped very nicely in a Listed bumper here last December and after that promise her subsequent efforts were underwhelming; returns from a break to go hurdling with her yard going great guns.

Promising novice hurdler last winter and she took a step back in the right direction when 7l second at Hereford (2m, good to soft) last month; however, she's back up in grade today and a bigger performance is required.

Form & Verdict
The horse she beat in a British point earlier this year is now 0-9 in that scene; won nicely enough and was bought for £12,000 soon afterwards, but others appeal more.

Point winner; beaten at least 30l in three runs over hurdles (2m3f-2m5f) but she now makes her handicap debut off a basement mark; not without a chance, especially if the market speaks in her favour.
