Won an Irish maiden point (3m, soft) in January and, following £100,000 sale, followed up on bumper and stable debut at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) in April; beaten at 4-6 when second at Stratford (2m6f, soft) four weeks ago but that was a pretty solid start in this sphere; big shout.

Consistent and progressive since her attention was turned to fences and now 3-8; only had one rival to worry about in a 2m7f novice last time and made heavy weather of that, but even penalised this mare has every chance on all the figures.

Winning pointer/hurdler who progressed nicely over fences in the spring, landing a pair of 3m handicaps with ease; failed to justify favouritism in the Summer Cup at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good) in June but has been given a break since and this drop back to novice company, along with a shorter trip, could provide the ideal platform to get back in the winning groove.
