Flat maiden despite threatening a couple of times; never finished out of the first two in first four hurdle runs and she had a stiff task from out the weights at Cheltenham in April, before a disappointing run back at this level at Warwick last month when appearing not to stay the 2m5f; remains with potential in this sphere and is one to consider back in distance.
