Bumper winner who made all in a Uttoxeter mares' maiden (2m, good) on hurdle debut in November 2024; made an encouraging reappearance at Wincanton (1m7f, soft) last month on handicap debut and it wouldn't be a surprise should she figure here with that run behind her.

Progressed well over hurdles last season and, after a slow start this campaign, returned to near best when winning over C&D in December and produced another solid effort back up in the weights when third at Newbury (2m, good to soft) 17 days ago; likely to give another good account.

Enjoyed a productive spell last season after joining this stable, winning four of her six starts over hurdles and fences, and ending the campaign on a high with a 5l second in a class 3 handicap chase off this mark at Kempton (2m2f, good) in April; commands plenty of respect if returning from a break in similar form back over hurdles.

Form & Verdict
Displayed a fair level of ability for Paul Nolan in Ireland and, after being sold for £18,000, shaped promisingly on debut for this stable at Hereford (2m, good to soft), travelling strongly in a first-time tongue-tie before a lack of a recent run told; better can be expected here on handicap debut.
