Bought for £42,000 after her dominant display in an Irish maiden point (3m, heavy) in March; tongue-tie is now added on her return but she looks an interesting recruit to hurdling for Lucinda Russell and is a half-sister to four winners in this sphere; big player.

Form & Verdict
0-9 over hurdles but she went close in a 2m Listed novice for Nicky Henderson last December and was a respectable second of five at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft; second run after wind surgery) three weeks ago; her overall record isn't very convincing but has each-way claims if she can build on that last run.

Ex-Nicky Henderson; no win in first ten runs over hurdles but the drop back to 2m1f paid off when she made her breakthrough at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) three weeks ago; that was a narrow win in a maiden but she battled well to beat an odds-on rival and has only gone up 1lb in the weights; respected back in a handicap.
