Promising novice hurdler last winter and she took a step back in the right direction when 7l second at Hereford (2m, good to soft) last month; however, she's back up in grade today and a bigger performance is required.

Form & Verdict
Won her only point and her first Irish bumper performance augured well; while not matching the latter form since, she comfortably justified 5-4 favouritism in a six-runner bumper at Ayr (2m, soft) 15 days ago and this half-sister to last Saturday's Eider Chase winner Anglers Crag is one to note.

Came good on handicap debut at Catterick (2m3f, good) in December, staying on well to cause 20-1 surprise; ought to have coped better with the soft ground when only seventh at Bangor last month but may yet have more to offer; sports first-time cheekpieces.

20-1 under claimer William Maggs for handicap debut in 13-runner race at Catterick (2m3f, good) in December and she snatched the win with a strong late bid from mid-division; up 4lb and the very mixed displays in her qualifying races aren't yet forgotten, but she may now have turned a corner.

Useful Flat form when winning at Killarney (1m) last May and also in September (1m1f, again good to yielding; blinkered) on final run for Joseph O'Brien; hurdle debut form at Hereford (2m, soft; 8-1) two weeks ago, however, suggests she is probably best watched for now in this sphere.

Close third over hurdles at Chepstow (2m, good) in October but she's not taken to fences this winter and has been pulled up in last two starts; bit to prove but she's on a dangerous mark back in this sphere and could be a big factor if she can revive; blinkers worn in last two starts are removed.
