Form & Verdict
Form of last February's Irish point win looks better now following runner-up White Noise's recent British hurdling hat-trick; not much of an Exeter mares' maiden hurdle she won in October, however, and limitations exposed since; starts life over fences and in handicaps on a tough mark.

Got off the mark on her chasing/handicap debut at Huntingdon (2m7f, soft; 20-1) in January before losing out in a match at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) last month; sports first-time cheekpieces and should run well.

1-3 over hurdles and made a winning start over fences when the surprise winner (20-1 outsider of four) over nearly 3m at Huntingdon (soft); just 2lb higher and she has very low mileage on the clock.

Form & Verdict
Almost denied Easy To Follow in a heavy-ground hurdle once, but best figures win or lose have been returned on no worse than the good to soft of last month's tidy 5l sixth in a Cheltenham mares' 0-125; still early days for her as a chaser, appears to jump fine and holds strong claims.

J: Conor O’Farrell

Both wins over hurdles came at Fontwell; having just her second go over fences when solid sixth in well-contested mares' handicap at Cheltenham (about 2m4f, good to soft) in December; disappointed at Huntingdon over further next time but had wind surgery shortly afterwards and might be worth another chance dropped back in trip.

Form & Verdict
No further successes since beating Batwomen by a neck in a Fontwell mares' novice hurdle in December 2023 (2m3f, heavy); mixed signals over fences of late as to whether this step up to 3m is needed, and cheekpieces wrought no improvement from her on one previous application.
