Form & Verdict
Never dangerous on last month's stable debut and now 0-26 under all codes but is well handicapped on some of last year's form for Mark Usher and seems versatile regarding ground; wears first-time cheekpieces today; may yet come good for Fergal O'Brien.

Stayed on gamely to score at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) in January, her third hurdle win, and probably bettered that performance when close/clear second at Southwell (3m, soft) last month; competes off career-high mark here but still respected in current form.

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.

0-4 over hurdles but looked suited by the step up in trip when keeping-on second behind an improver on handicap debut here (2m4f, good; first-time tongie-tie) in March; had wind op during eight-month break; open to more improvement if this stiffer stamina test suits.

Stopped too quickly at Cartmel latest (2m6f, good to soft) for either the 4lb rise for her previous Newton Abbot success (3m2f, good) or the quirky course to seem the issue; step back up in trip is a plus, but questions to answer again; cheekpieces discarded.

Kept on well for narrow success at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) this month, opening her hurdling account at the eighth attempt; will be fine on the forecast slower ground and further progress is possible if combination of drop back in trip and first-time cheekpieces has positive effect.

Third in a mares' bumper here (good) on debut last year; unable to improve on that level of form but was third over hurdles at Chepstow (2m3f, heavy) in January; below that level twice since; half-sister to a 3m winner, so this longer trip might see her find some improvement.
