Won a handicap and two Listed races (2m1f/2m4f) when sent over fences early last season; this campaign hasn't started so well, pulling up in that discipline on her return and then very laboured back over hurdles at Ludlow in December; the ability is there to threaten off this mark if she can stage a revival. |

Took very well to chasing last autumn, winning a 2m2f handicap and two Listed races (2m1f/2m4f); pulled up in Grade 2 in February and also disappointed when reappearing in valuable Cheltenham handicap in October (jumped poorly) but is in much calmer waters for this return to hurdling. |
