Form & Verdict
Showed clear promise with her frame efforts in bumpers last spring; no impact on hurdling debut at Market Rasen in November but she ran well to finish third of 12 at Hereford (2m5f, good to soft) in January; was well backed in that race and she's in the mix on her return.

Won three times over hurdles last year (2m3f-2m7f) but it isn't happening over fences, pulled up all three starts this term; now comes back in trip with blinkers replacing cheekpieces; handicapped to be competitive but impossible to recommend without market support at present.

Finished runner-up at Hexham (2m, good) and Kelso (2m, good to soft) in the last two of her three bumpers this spring; out of a half-sister to a useful hurdle winner (2m-2m7f) and she's an interesting contender now switched to jumping over this longer trip; hood added.
