Half-sister to Earlofthecotswolds and Good Risk At All; the form of her third here in November has worked out nicely and she's hit the frame in two bumpers since; ground fine for her and she's a big player back over hurdles.

Useful form in bumpers; has picked up plenty of hurdling experience, notching wins at Navan in March and last month when readily landing odds in poorly-contested 2m2f Kilbeggan mares' event; only caught late in Sligo mares' handicap over same trip; soundly beaten in four-runner mares' event at Killarney; officially rated on a par with Gale Mahler.

Form & Verdict
Not without minor promise when sent off favourite for mares' maiden hurdle at Downpatrick on her debut last year but failed to build on that back at that venue next time; different track may suit better and this half-sister to Appreciate It may bounce back if ready on return from 187 days off.

0-16 over hurdles and her tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern, but she shaped with significant promise when fifth on last month's stable debut at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) and probably sat too far off the pace when failing to build on that performance at Cartmel (2m1f, soft) three weeks later; tries a new trip here; worth a second look.
