Form & Verdict
Second in her only bumper and same again when blundering at the final flight in an eight-runner maiden at Market Rasen (extended 2m5f, good) on her latest start over hurdles; a hood went on that day and is retained; in serious calculations in this weak race for handicap debut.

0-5 over hurdles when based in Ireland but, following a ten-month layoff, travelled well for a long way on recent stable debut at Worcester (2m4f, good); needs to build on that effort but it will be interesting to see whether drop to 2m pays dividends; swaps cheekpieces for first-time hood.

Did not make the frame in seven starts under rules for Chris Grant; first-time cheekpieces saw no improvement when eighth of 12 finishers at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) last month and subsequently sold for £1,000; first-time visor is now applied on stable debut but she is hard to fancy.
