Lightly raced since winning hurdle debut in October 2024 but has performed well on both outings this year, latterly when close second in small-field Plumpton handicap (2m2f, good to soft) last month; considered.

T: Jamie Snowden

Dual soft-ground bumper winner who finished third in an Aintree Grade 2 in April 2024; yet to replicate that level over hurdles, but she showed marked improvement after wind surgery when a 5.75l third at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) 18 days ago, following a break; likely to build on that and, with Joe Anderson's useful 3lb claim, she looks set for a big run.

Big improver this season in winning three times, the latest over 2m3f here on good (handles softer); another good run last time in a Listed race at Warwick (2m5f, soft) and her form is right up there in this company; the nagging concern is that she was keen and didn't get home over 3m at Windsor two runs back, although the ground was soft.

Others have a lot more substance to their form but she impressed when winning three mares' novice hurdles in the autumn (2m3f-2m5f, good/good to soft; also effective on soft) and failed to settle when fading over 3m last time; retains potential now back down in trip and none of the form horses arrive with rock-solid credentials; interesting contender.
