Very lightly raced since her 10l Irish point win in 2021 but was a dual novice hurdle winner last season (2m5f/2m3f); absent since disappointing run in valuable handicap in March but still looks interesting on this chasing debut.

Needs to rebound from a disappointing run in January but returned from long absence with emphatic success at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; remains lightly raced and is a big player if back on song for this first attempt at about 3m under rules.

About 17l behind Alfie's Princess when fifth of 17 in Grade 2 mares' handicap at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) in March but that was still a pretty good effort, and she also ran well when fourth (albeit well held in the end) in Cheltenham Listed hurdle (2m4f, good) in April; has some Irish pointing experience to call upon on this chasing debut; a possible.

Placed in valuable series final over fences at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft) in January but rest of last season's form was disappointing and it's hard to predict whether she'll be in the right mood for this return to hurdling; tried blinkers when pulled up last time; usual cheekpieces return.

Arrested her decline when placed in valuable final of this mares' series here (2m5f, good to soft; refitted cheekpieces) in January; two lesser efforts have followed and she's unreliable nowadays but she could be too good for this field if perked up by a change of headgear.
