Failed to build on an encouraging return over fences in November, but latest effort over hurdles following a break was a good step forward when a close second over C&D ten days ago; nudged up 3lb for that and yet to win in handicap company, which suggests she possibly remains on a tough enough mark.

Won a mares' novice at Kelso in December 2024 (2m5f, soft); back over hurdles after seven runs over fences, best form when third over C&D in November (good to soft); bit disappointing since.

Won a Carlisle bumper by 17l (good to soft) and didn't disgrace herself afterwards at Sandown (Listed) and Aintree (Grade 2; both soft); should have a bright future over hurdles.

Justified favouritism in 2m3f mares' handicap most recently, taking Wetherby record to 3121; faces a stiffer assignment in this field, back against males, but holds solid claims kept to this venue.

She could do with settling better but perhaps the heavy ground was too much at Newcastle last month; won C&D maiden (good to soft) in December 2024 and runner-up to handicap blot in C&D handicap (soft) in November; could bounce back and play a leading role now back here.

2m3f maiden hurdle winner who has shaped with promise in handicaps on both runs this season, most recently runner-up at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) behind a handicap blot; mark unchanged and she's a strong candidate.

Form & Verdict
Ability in Ireland, winning a point and finishing second in a handicap hurdle; the workmanlike winner of a Class 5 handicap at Worcester on stable debut (2m, soft; in this first-time headgear combination); they've found an ordinary novice for her to carry a penalty.
