Won twice over hurdles in 2023 (about 2m7f) and once over fences (2m4f) in Feburary 2025, all in the mud; beaten at least 20l on all completions this season, she's opposable despite her fall in the weights.

Form & Verdict
Yet to add to her Kelso bumper win but she was in reasonable form for Sandy Forster in 2m7f handicap hurdles in the spring/summer; has since joined a stable (for £7,000) which has been among the winners lately; will handle conditions and could be of interest.

Some encouragement in three maiden hurdles towards end of last season; pushed along when trying to run out and falling heavily before three out on handicap debut at Chepstow (20-1) on return; needs cheekpieces to have a positive effect.

Form & Verdict
Well treated on the form of her handicap debut win in February 2021 (2m, heavy); lightly raced and mostly disappointing since, although last month's third of eight over this trip at Chepstow was a step back in the right direction; possibilities if building on that.

Bettered underwhelming chase debut when close second at Leicester (2m6f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in January and has claims if judged on that performance but was struggling before stamina might have been an issue over 3m1f at Plumpton this month and can't be relied upon.

Placed on Irish point debut last October; glimmers of promise in four runs over hurdles, although last month's fourth of eight on handicap debut at Chepstow was her worst run on ratings; now wears cheekpieces.

Ended up with plenty to do and was hampered late on at Warwick last time; previous fourth at Market Rasen reads quite well in the context of this race; this longer trip should be in her favour; more solid than some.
