Well-bred bumper winner was set a stiff task on hurdles debut in a Grade 2 mares' hurdle at Sandown (2m4f, soft) and came up short; off since but will like this ground and this obviously a lot easier; greatly respected.

Thrown into a tough race for her hurdle debut but she's from a top Irish yard and showed lots of promise in bumpers, winning at Punchestown (2m, good) in October before a creditable Listed second at Navan (2m, yielding); this half-sister to 2m4f/3m1f Grade 1 chase winner Spillane's Tower could relish the step up in trip and she's firmly in calculations.

Cost 40,000Euros as a 3yo and is from the family of Simonsig; ran creditably on debut in the Goffs Defender Bumper last spring; this is a much lesser contest so should get much closer after a break; seems yard's first-string.

Promise in bumpers and all three hurdling starts in Ireland; kept on too strongly for 1-6 favourite, whose jumping let her down, when scoring on stable debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) in late December; too early to tell how she would have fared when falling at Windsor last time but looks the part and is the sort to put that behind her.

Displayed significant promise in bumpers and on all three hurdling starts in Ireland, and kept on too strongly for 1-6 favourite when scoring on British debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; the value of that form is quite tricky to weigh up but, nevertheless, she's of strong interest here.
