Close third in Cheltenham Grade 2 novice (2m good to soft) in October and again ran commendably well when third in Newbury Listed race (2m, soft) a few weeks later but was tailed off when reappearing in a handicap last month and it's hard to know what to expect from her here.

Hurdle winner on soft but two chase wins in 2025 were on good to soft, latterly at Cheltenham (about 2m4f) in December, and failures since have come on heavy and soft; needs to jump better than she did at Ludlow in February (over 17l behind Malaita) but she could revive back on good ground.

Glimpses of promise in a bumper and maiden hurdles; came in for some support on her handicap and seasonal debut at Southwell (2m4f, good) last month, when doing much of the work before weakening to be an 18l third; tongue-tie now goes on and no surprise if she finds an improved finishing effort.
