Well beaten (bled from the nose) on penultimate outing but showed ability in her other two qualifying races, more recently when fourth in race won easily by 1-25 favourite; it's tricky to gauge what that form is worth but she's open to improvement in handicaps.

Low-mileage 7yo who made quite encouraging handicap debut when fourth at Huntingdon (2m, heavy) last month; didn't build on that effort at Hereford (2m3f, good) nine days ago but a mid-race jumping error seemed to knock her out of her rhythm there, and she remains open to improvement over this sort of trip now she's back on slower ground.
