Form & Verdict

Unexposed 5yo who won four-runner Huntingdon maiden (2m3f, good) on hurdle debut in March and returned with respectable second to short-odds winner here (2m, good) in September; upped in trip for this handcap debut and probably still has potential.

Form & Verdict

Lost her way a bit after last October's winning hurdle debut but was seemingly aided by wind op when second over C&D (good) in May; returned from break with good effort over 2m last month and now moves back up in trip; might be the answer.
