Won three times last spring (2m4f/2m5f, good/good to soft; including C&D) and followed a break by returning to winning ways with a career best at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) a fortnight ago, albeit with half the hurdles omitted; could still have more to offer and she's respected up 4lb.

Made excellent progress when fitted with cheekpieces in the spring, and the second of her three wins was gained over C&D; further improvement is possible if she's fully tuned up after five-month break.

Placed in her two Irish points (3m, soft); has won a bumper, a novice hurdle and last time a handicap hurdle at 2m/2m1f on good/good to soft under rules, her only hurdles defeat when fourth on soft ground at Wincanton when returning from a 410-day break; should be suited by the step up to 2m4f; contender.

Bumper winner who made all in a Uttoxeter mares' maiden (2m, good) on hurdle debut in November 2024; made an encouraging reappearance at Wincanton (1m7f, soft) last month on handicap debut and it wouldn't be a surprise should she figure here with that run behind her.

Form & Verdict
Returned from a year off in maiden hurdle over C&D (good to soft) last month and ran best race yet, finishing second in a first-time hood (retained); open to improvement, especially with her jumping, and she could be a contender now going handicapping for her respected stable.

Lightly raced maiden who took too strong a hold when a fading fourth on handicap debut at Musselburgh four weeks ago (good to soft); dropping back to 2m from 2m4f could work but this still commands a career best and by some way.

Tailed off at Market Rasen in November and same story at Catterick last month on her sole run since; however, she may have needed that latest outing and runs off the same mark as for her win at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) in September; yard's horses are running well and she's not discounted.

Form & Verdict
Just one win from her 19 starts but she was a close third of 16 at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in January on her second outing for this yard; failed to build on that when third of five over this C&D (soft) since but she wasn't seen to best effect in that slowly run race; has an each-way shout.

Dual AW scorer during the winter and a possible non-stayer over 1m4f last time; return to 1m2f is a plus but she faces some likely improvers back on turf.

Two wins over shorter trip, creating a favourable impression over 1m2f at Lingfield seven weeks ago; 5lb rise asks a stiffer question of her but the new trip could unlock further progress and she can't be ignored.
