Form & Verdict
Won on debut in Aintree bumper (2m1f, good to soft) in October 2023 and made the frame in Listed mares' bumpers on her next three starts; no match for the winner when runner-up on this month's hurdle and seasonal debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) but nevertheless holds leading claims today.

Won 2m4f handicap at Sandown (soft) in December and she ran well in defeat in Listed/Grade 2 races on next two starts (2m4f/1m7f, good/soft); mid-race unseat at Cheltenham last week; she's a half-sister to a 3m2f winner and it's possible this new trip will be within range; in with a chance.

Followed a clearcut handicap win at Sandown (2m4f, soft) with a good fourth to Nurse Susan in a Listed event there in January; another sound effort when a rallying third of four in 2m Ascot mares' Grade 2 (soft) since; the return to further will suit but she has plenty to find on form.

Keeps getting better and she followed a clearcut handicap win at Sandown (2m4f, soft) with a good fourth to Nurse Susan in a Listed event over the same C&D two weeks ago; 4lb better off with that rival today and there's unlikely to be much between them.

Kept on well to win at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in October but failed to take to fences in next two starts and finished well held reverting to hurdles back at Fontwell (2m1f) last month over what may have been an inadequate test; needs to bounce back, but only 2lb higher than for her win and the step back up in trip will suit.

Bumped into a improver when second on handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) last March and held every chance before last-flight fall on seasonal reappearance there (2m6f, soft) in November; chasing has not gone to plan on her last two outings but she reverts to hurdling on a good mark and with a new visor fitted; big player if back on song.
