Scored on hurdle debut at Wincanton (2m5f, heavy) last December and bettered that form when placed in Listed race at Doncaster (3m, soft) in March; pulled up in valuable handicap later that month and absent since but connections are evidently keen to switch this winning Irish pointer to chasing. |

Some decent form when trained in Britain; couple of fair efforts in handicap hurdles since joining this yard, including when fifth of 12 here (2m6f) last time; 99-rated hurdler should be in the mix if she takes to larger obstacles. |

Triple winner over hurdles at up to 2m3f and goes well on a sound surface; 2lb lower than when last winning at Huntingdon 13 months ago; well below that level over fences/hurdles this season and down the field in 1m3f AW novice event in January when last seen; handy mark if revived. |

Bumper winner on debut in 2023; finally off the mark over hurdles (2m7f, good) last September but she's run to an ordinary level back in handicaps on last two starts and goes chasing with something to prove. |

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. |

12st 0lb |
Three of her four wins have come here on good or good to soft, including over this trip; well treated on her form of late 2024; has been well below that level since over both hurdles and fences; back down in grade for this return to hurdles but there's a bit to prove at present. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 150y Class 4 |

Lightly raced 6yo who ended last season with good second on handicap debut at Ludlow (2m5f, good; first-time cheekpieces); encounters slower ground here but her Irish point win in 2023 was gained on yielding to soft, and she probably still has potential; respected. |

Half-sister to Sizing Tennessee who won the Ladbrokes Trophy for this yard; hinted at promise when sixth of 18 on sole bumper start in February 2023; well held on hurdling debut 12 months later but was faring slightly better when capsizing at the last at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) in March; not discounted back from break. |
