Thrice-raced mare who has two pieces of placed form (point/hurdle); reappearance effort, in 2m event at Ayr, suggests this step back up in distance will suit (pedigree confirms that impression); interesting with improvement plausible.

Placed in a 3m point and she got off the mark at the third attempt over hurdles in a mares' novice here (2m4f, soft) last month; did it nicely from a solid yardstick and she's from the family of Paisley Park, so could appreciate the step up in trip on handicap debut; possible player.

Close third on debut in Irish maiden point (3m, yielding) in April 2024, after which she was sold for £30,000; also showed ability when 20l fifth in maiden hurdle at Kelso (2m, good to soft; 40-1) that October on sole run for Nick Alexander; absent since and her best days probably lie over further, but she's not discounted each-way on this stable debut.

Form & Verdict
Has Listed form in bumpers and over hurdles; probably didn't show improvement in justifying favouritism in weak maiden at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) last time but may build on that win; respected, assuming she takes to first-time headgear.

Listed form in bumpers and over hurdles; didn't have to improve to win at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft; odds-on) and came up short under a penalty at Ayr (first-time cheekpieces); should give her running and entitled to be involved.

Bumper and dual hurdles winner; penalties have been finding her out so handicaps now look a better option, but with her unraced beyond 2m5f there are some stamina doubts over this far.
