Form & Verdict
Ready Irish point winner who was tongue tied when making a successful hurdling debut at Hereford (2m5f); looked a good prospect there but she came in only a remote fourth when odds-on for a 2m3f Warwick novice later in January; back after a wind op and shouldn't be written off.

Pether's Moon mare who built on her hurdling debut promise when getting up on the line in 2m3f Lingfield novice last month, despite having not enjoyed the clearest of passages in the straight; she looks to have more to offer and rates a player.

First-time cheekpieces did the trick when she won at Ffos Las in November 2024 and she matched that form when third of 14 here (also about 2m4f, good to soft) last February; inconsistent and generally struggling since and pulled up after a bad mistake when blinkered for chase debut last time; handy mark, however, and the return to hurdles and cheekpieces might help.
