3-5 in bumpers last season, with latest win gained at Listed level, and clear second in Listed novice hurdle at Newbury (2m, soft) on return in November; turned over at short odds at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) on Boxing Day but didn't run badly and has strong claims.

Listed bumper winner who built upon previous promise over hurdles when sent up in trip for her handicap debut and winning that 15-runner mares' novice handicap at Newbury in good style; has the 7lb mares' allowance but she still needs to find something extra and can make the odd mistake.

3-5 in bumpers, including a Sandown Listed win on good to soft; won at Chepstow (2m, soft) on third attempt over hurdles and runner-up in the other three; cheekpieces latest (ran creditably); has top weight on this handicap debut but going beyond 2m1f for first time could prove just the ticket.

The whiff of ability in her one bumper and three hurdle races does not get near today's opening mark but she moves up from 2m for this handicap debut; worth a market check.
