Went close at Taunton (2m, good to soft) in January on second hurdle start and improved again to win there (2m, heavy) last month; could continue to progress now switched to handicaps and she's one to consider.

J: Jay Tidball

Ran okay in her two bumpers (good to soft/heavy) but, following wind surgery, her hurdling debut at Wincanton was very underwhelming and 2m5f shouldn't have been an issue on breeding; still early days.

Tamely dropped out of contention in valuable series final at Kelso (2m, good to soft) last month but posted good effort when second at Taunton (2m, heavy) two starts ago and has possibilities if able to replicate that form on the quicker surface here.

Fourth in warm novice hurdle against males at Newbury (2m, good to soft) in January and runner-up to Beauty In The Park at Taunton (2m, heavy) next time, beaten just over 3l; she's 6lb better off with the winner on this handicap debut and could have a part to play in a first-time tongue-tie.

Form & Verdict
Returned to form to win a handicap at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) on Boxing Day on stable debut, after a break; her Flat win came on testing ground; leading claims under 6lb penalty if backing up latest effort.

She's thrived this season and made it 3-5 for the yard (wins at 1m7f-2m1f on good to soft/heavy) when winning big-field mares' novice handicap at Kelso four weeks ago; from out of the handicap she's 12lb higher today back against males but it remains to be seen where her limitations lie.

Two wins (1m7f/2m, good to soft/heavy) from her first three starts for this yard and perhaps her latest run at Newbury three weeks ago came too soon, just six days after she won at Fontwell; not discounted.

Ex-Irish mare who is 2-3 for new stable, most recently scoring in a canter at Fontwell (2m1f, heavy) last Sunday; open to further progress and looks well in under a 7lb penalty; commands respect.
