Won a bumper in spring 2025 but has made a disappointing start to her jumping career; all three handicap runs were over fences, with two non-completions sandwiching a 33l defeat; reverts to hurdling with quite a bit to prove.

Bumper winner; still unexposed after only six runs but fell on chase/handicap debut in April and was about 27l behind Auntie Maggie when fourth of five over C&D (good) three weeks ago; needs new tongue-tie to enable improvement.

Runner-up in a Warwick bumper and glimpses of ability over hurdles, none more so than when falling two out at Ludlow (2m, soft) in February; lacked the pace to challenge on handicap debut at Aintree (2m1f, good) but still unexposed; tongue-tie added.

Finished second in three of her last four bumpers including a Listed mares' event at Huntingdon in December; runner-up again on recent hurdling debut at Fakenham (2m4f, good) and that was a promising effort behind an 11-10 favourite who made all; sets a fair standard on that form and she's a big player back in trip.

Form & Verdict
Beaten about 3l in an Irish point 13 months ago and the winner is now a stablemate who has performed to a useful level in bumpers; makes rules debut after a wind operation and Dan Skelton isn't holding back on the headgear; with that in mind the market could be instructive.

Placed on Irish point debut in 2024; well held in a bumper and maiden hurdle in next two runs but he found plenty of progress when second of 13 at Worcester (2m, good to soft) last month; split the two market leaders in that race and he's an interesting contender now switched to a handicap.
