Form & Verdict
Never that dangerous in her three bumpers, going down by some 12l in the latest at Fakenham; has a very stout pedigree so going up in trip for her hurdling debut is a positive.

Got back on the scoresheet when beating Parikarma at Uttoxeter (3m, good) in June; disappointing in both subsequent runs but she's now only 2lb higher than for that last win and is a big player if she can bounce back.

Point winner; did well in bumpers for Fergal O'Brien (same colours) and there was plenty to like about her stable/hurdle debut at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) where she only dropped away late on; now into a mares' only race and has fair form claims on that latest effort.

Never got into it on stable debut over hurdles at Newcastle last month; however, that was her first outing since March 2024 and she may have needed it; this point, bumper and novice hurdle winner could go well on her first chase start if tapping back into her old ability.

Interesting on some of her bumper form as wasn't far behind Larchmont Lass in a Listed race at Sandown; the form of her Carlisle win (2m3f, soft; Drumlee Spud third) carries substance but now has to rebound from a poor run at Doncaster (well behind Baby Shally).
