4yo who has finished third in mares' bumpers on her three starts (2m, good/soft/AW); has appeared to be a work in progress and she's open to improvement; might not be far away on hurdle debut.

Down the field on debut at Haydock (1m7f, good) last May but left that miles behind when third of six at 150-1 at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) last month; she has a useful pedigree and could continue to progress; in with a chance.
