Form & Verdict
Outran 33-1 odds when placed on stable debut at Ludlow (2m4f, soft; first-time hood) in December but this year's chase/hurdle form has been somewhat underwhelming; has the services of Sean Bowen here but needs to up her game; hood left off today.

Struck form in early part of this season, winning good-ground chases at Stratford (2m3f, good) and Bangor (2m4f, good) very stylishly; returned from break with poor performance (albeit over 2m) last month, though, and she's not easy to predict here.

Looked set for a bright career after winning four points and a Cheltenham hunter chase but didn't find her way in four starts this spring, nor at Warwick last month; yard in flying form now and too soon to be giving up on this mare but she does need to turn matters around soon.

0-10 under rules but stuck to her task fairly well when fourth at Hereford (2m, good) recently and is another 2lb lower here; may benefit from the move back up in trip and has possibilities if first-time cheekpieces have desired effect.
