Useful bumper form culminated in Grade 2 fifth at Aintree (2m1f, soft); easy winner of both hurdle starts, latterly beating Kitty Foyle 8l over C&D (good) 23 days ago; looks capable of taking the step up in class in her stride.

Just held on to land big prize at Windsor (2m4f, good) on New Year's Day but wasn't in quite the same form on next two outings (2m3f/3m) and probably needs to find hidden reserves.

Game when winning 2m4f handicap at Windsor (good) on New Year's Day, shaping as though she would be worth a crack at a staying trip; soundly beaten at Ascot (2m3f, good to soft) since, and in view of this longer distance it's a concern she failed to settle that day, but she's not ruled out.

Bumper winner and good second in a Listed mares' event at Sandown (both soft) in March; had little difficulty landing the odds on her Market Rasen hurdle debut and reappearance (extended 2m4f, good) 16 days ago; that was a weak race but she has the potential to leave that bare form behind.

Last season started well but petered out and it might be happening again, as although it wasn't a bad run behind Cheltenham Festival heroine White Noise two starts back, Chepstow last time was underwhelming (well behind Siog Geal; soft ground no excuse).
