Form & Verdict
Quite useful form in bumpers, winning at Sedgefield on debut last October (2m1f, good) and following a couple of good seconds, including over C&D, was fifth in the Grade 2 mares' bumper at Aintree in April (2m1f, soft); jumps debut; the one to beat.

Just held on to land big prize at Windsor (2m4f, good) on New Year's Day but wasn't in quite the same form on next two outings (2m3f/3m) and probably needs to find hidden reserves.

Game when winning 2m4f handicap at Windsor (good) on New Year's Day, shaping as though she would be worth a crack at a staying trip; soundly beaten at Ascot (2m3f, good to soft) since, and in view of this longer distance it's a concern she failed to settle that day, but she's not ruled out.

Couldn't fault her momentum last year, rising from a mark of 88 at Uttoxeter in July to 102 when scoring readily at Hexham (2m, good to soft) in October; found life tougher in better races (Wetherby and Cheltenham) thereafter; this is equally tough, but she could strip fitter for C&D comeback run.

Modest form in bumpers, but was a 1m4f Flat winner for Hughie Morrison in January; showed promise when a 100-1 shot on her hurdles debut at Worcester 12 days ago (2m, good), still going well when making a bad error three from home and being pulled up soon after; hood tried again (no improvement previous time she wore one); interesting.
