Opened chasing account at second attempt, with Listed success at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) in February, and was creditable second in Grade 2 Pendil at Kempton (2m4f, good to soft) later that month; still has potential over fences; respected on handicap return.

Added to point, bumper and hurdles wins when battling on gamely in mares' Listed chase at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) 16 days ago; that was a career best and she may not have reached her ceiling just yet; faces a sterner assignment against male rivals but impossible to discount.

Fairly useful hurdler who was having her first British start over fences when third of four, beaten 10l, at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last month; her jumping didn't convince that day but maybe returning cheekpieces can help.

Sole win came in a Huntingdon 2m maiden hurdle in January last year, but she has a string of respectable placed efforts since and wasn't beaten through lack of stamina on her first try beyond 3m latest; appears to be on a tough mark but may improve for going back over fences, having run well in France in March 2024 on her sole previous chase start; handles most ground.

Consistent sort but she's won just once (a maiden last January) from 13 starts; rallied into a remote second here (good) last time, so perhaps a first attempt beyond that 2m5f will help the cause.
