Form & Verdict
Bumper winner on soft and promising novice hurdle winner at Lingfield in February (2m, good to soft); hasn't shot the lights out in handicaps since but she crept late into third of 16 finishers on return to 2m at Warwick in November; remains of interest.

J: Mr Joshua Newman

T: S Loxton

Close third of three in a Dunsmore open (good to soft) on her most recent pointing start, but her quirkier side was also evident this year having run out under two different riders; risks attached therefore, and she offered nothing on a sole previous chasing start (3m, 0-120) in autumn 2024.

She's dropped to a mark 4lb lower than when winning over C&D (good) last June but she's struggled to reproduce that form since and has been well beaten on both outings this year.

Form has dipped markedly since winning at Worcester (2m4f, good) off this mark last June and recent efforts make her hard to support.

Form & Verdict
Has made great strides since no match for Walk Of No Shame on hurdle debut at Lingfield in February, making all at Chepstow and Newton Abbot (about 2m1f; soft and good to soft); outpointed by well-treated rival on recent handicap debut at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) but still has potential.

Two hurdle wins (2m-2m1f) on slow ground for Olly Murphy in 2023, but she's not seen much action since and was pulled up in two runs (point/handicap chase) during the winter; still unexposed in this sphere but she needs a major revival with cheekpieces added.

Dual hurdle winner (2m-2m1f, on slow ground) when with Olly Murphy; not seen under rules since January 2024, since when she has changed hands; pulled up in a point last December; handy mark if revived.

Form & Verdict
Two hurdle wins at about 2m1f this year (soft and good ground), lifting her level at Doncaster in March; had some relatively quiet runs since but looked on the way back at Newcastle recently, is on winning mark and Harry Cobden up for the first time; yard won this in 2020.

Soft-ground C&D winner just over a year ago and added to her tally at Doncaster (2m, good) last March; not firing on all cylinders this season, though, and needs a good boost from the first-time cheekpieces today.
