Form & Verdict
0-5 over hurdles but she ran well for a long way when fourth of nine in a Ludlow handicap (2m5f, good) last month with the tongue-tie removed on her return from a break; wasn't beaten far in that race and, with the sixth having won since, she has good claims off the same mark.

Scored over fences at Market Rasen (3m) in November but she's failed to go on and underwent breathing surgery (also fitted with cheekpieces) before coming in a well-held third of five at Exeter (3m) 20 days ago; reverts to hurdles with plenty to prove.

Well beaten on heavy ground last month (jumped poorly) but has generally done well over fences this season, most notably when winning at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) in November; likely contender if last month's wind op and/or first-time cheekpieces aid quick return to form.

Irish maiden point winner; ridden by 7lb claimer Daire Davis on four of last five starts; didn't run badly on handicap debut (good to soft) in January on her first go at 3m under rules but beaten 46l at Taunton (3m, good) in April when back from a 105-day break; down a further 4lb and not ruled out on this drop in distance with that run behind her.

Showed promise in 2m novice hurdles (good to soft/soft) towards end of last year but disappointing on both starts in handicaps this year; given wind surgery since well held at Musselburgh (soft) on her first attempt at this far; bit to prove but it's too soon to write her off.

Form & Verdict
Made some progress in a first-time tongue-tie when fifth in a 2m1f handicap chase here in March and ran to a similar level when fourth reverting to hurdles over C&D this month in a refitted hood (retained); a reproduction of that effort would put her in the mix; considered.

Fair third to the proficient Windtothelightning at Sedgefield (2m4f mares' novices') in January 2023, but has lost her way since (0-3) and has plenty of ground to make up on Faha Belle and Shibuya Song from Market Rasen; much safer to focus elsewhere.
