Form & Verdict
Easily best results have been at Worcester, including sole win (2m4f on good in May 2022) on final run for John Groucott; well beaten on her two starts here but she's back 1lb below her last winning mark, having been unraced since June 2022; has left Dave Roberts; needs a market check.

Took fair record fresh to a new level when shrugging off a 22-month break to oblige on debut for Ryan Potter at Uttoxeter last month (2m, soft); back up 7lb and there's always the potential to bounce, but is proven over this longer trip and sounder surface before now; 2lb badly in.

Runner-up on the last seven of her ten hurdling starts, including a C&D handicap in April; her limitations are exposed but there is nothing obviously wrong with her attitude and she has a good chance at the weights in this run-of-the-mill maiden; suited by good and soft ground.

Record of 0-30 but she's been placed with cheekpieces added in last two starts and was a well-backed favourite when third at Hereford (2m3f, good) on Monday; should go well again off unchanged mark and she's in the mix.

Returned from break with good second over C&D (good) in May but her subsequent record is very mixed and she's now 0-20 over hurdles; tried in new cheekpieces today; would probably prefer the rain to stay away.

Had wind surgery in January 2023 and raised her game on next three outings, including 2m wins at Southwell and Worcester; not seen since a heavy defeat in July, though, and she's unraced on worse than good to soft.
