OR:

Form & Verdict
Placed in all three Irish points in 2022 and was bought for £60,000; hampered when running well on hurdles debut and her fourth of ten at Exeter (2m2f, good to soft) in November is the best hurdles form in this line-up.

1-10 over fences, the win gained on last season's reappearance at Ludlow (3m, good; Another Day Out second) in October; not in same form again since but now 2lb below that mark, and might be boosted by new cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Won at Stratford in August on debut and ran creditably in better company in her other two bumpers, latterly when 50-1 in a soft-ground Listed event at Cheltenham; has stamina in the pedigree and she's a big player on that bumper form.

Looked promising when winning a bumper on her debut in August 2023 but it took her an age to get going over hurdles, eventually winning a Uttoxeter maiden last September; hasn't gone on from that in three subsequent runs and returns following a break.

Twice second in bumpers before winning one at Newton Abbot (2m1f, soft) in July 2021, just before wind surgery; while that form reads well, she was not so good over hurdles in her only two races since; the latest was three weeks ago when 80-1 at Doncaster (2m3f) and beaten 28l.

Made encouraging seasonal debut over 2m4f in November but has been well beaten over that trip three times since; she's suited by good ground and can outclass this field if back on song but is unraced beyond about 2m5f and arrives with a fair bit to prove.
