Form & Verdict
Her bumper win came at this track in May and she's shown promise switched to hurdling in her last two starts, including a 3l third at Fontwell (2m1f, good) last month; seems versatile ground-wise and she should have more to offer in this sphere; in the mix.

Her last win was in a Plumpton maiden in November 2023; mixed results over hurdles this year but was runner-up at Plumpton (2m, soft) in February and she finished a fair fourth at Fontwell (2m3f, good) 19 days ago; continues to edge down the weights and she could be in the mix back in trip.
