Form & Verdict
Flat winner on good ground and was pretty useful; had three runs over hurdles, much the best when fourth at Hereford (2m, soft); she was beaten 23l but the front two have since won good handicaps at Sandown and Cheltenham; has her ground for handicap debut and she should be very well treated given Flat ability.

In good form when last seen on the Flat, going down narrowly over 1m3f at Southwell last March, and successful three times over hurdles since; however, she ran poorly in that sphere in November and has stamina to prove on her return to the AW.
