Form & Verdict

Flat recruit is 0-7; rated just 44 and her best run came on soft; however, she is a half-sister to a couple of winners over hurdles so she could improve for the switch to this discipline with the tongue tie on for the first time.

Won a handicap off 55 on the Flat for Daniel and Claire Kubler at Ffos Las (1m2f, heavy); didn't jump well on first start for this stable at Galway when well behind Bay Brook; may prefer softer ground and others look more likely.
