Form & Verdict
Was runner-up on second point start, 7.5l ahead of Broomfield Aderra and sold for 85,000GBP since; poor on soft ground in a Gowran bumper on debut but then much better back on good ground at Down Royal (2.75l ahead of Oh Janey); a major player.

Downpatrick bumper (2m2f, good) and Kilbeggan maiden hurdle winner (2m, good) was turned over at short odds in a Perth mares' novice when last seen in September; lacks a recent run, so market can guide as to her fitness.

T: Dan Skelton

Irish point winner who was competitive in bumpers there; won a maiden hurdle before finishing close up under a big weight on handicap debut at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft), and a combination of 3m on tiring ground is good reason to turn a blind eye to her no-show in a Listed race for mares at Doncaster; difficult to oppose given what she's up against here.

Plenty of promise in Ireland and has soon raised her game for Dan Skelton, running her best race when close up under a big weight on handicap debut at Aintree two months ago (2m4f, good to soft); highly likely that she'll improve again for going over 3m.

Always doing enough when making winning handicap debut at Downpatrick (2m1f; 9-4 favourite) last October; well beaten in a Grade 3 mares' novice next time, and absent since; no issue with this track, so mildly interesting to see how she fares off a BHA mark of 109.
