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.

Hereford (2m3f, good) winner under Fern O'Brien in April last year and virtually matched that effort on her comeback run at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in November; best forgiven her follow-up effort back there in December as the soft ground went against her; wouldn't want any rain but returns on a competitive mark and not ruled out.

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.

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).
