Form & Verdict
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.

Fairly useful on the Flat for Richard Hughes (9.4f AW winner) and launched hurdling career for Jamie Snowdon with two fairly good efforts at Startford last month (2m/2m2f); would probably prefer good ground but has run well on heavy; high on the list.

Had more in hand than the winning margin suggests when springing 40-1 shock from 5lb out of the handicap at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) last Thursday; she's back up in trip today but she won two 3m points in 2023-24; under a penalty she's effectively only 2lb higher than last week; major player.
