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.

Distant fourth at Uttoxeter when back down in class last time; otherwise holds leading claims on the pick of her bare figures, including at Listed level, in bumpers and over hurdles.

Form & Verdict
Form figures may look encouraging but she's been beaten between 16l and 22l in her last three races, the latest on hurdle debut at Kempton (2m, good; 12-1); has to improve to beat the best of these.

Form figures may look encouraging but she's been beaten between 16l and 23l in her last four races, including two runs over hurdles (2m, good); still has potential but she has quite a lot to find here and others are preferred.

Fair form when reaching the frame in her three bumpers (good to soft/soft) this season; Burning Embers is possibly the stable first string on jockey bookings but the betting should reveal more.

Best form has been in bumpers, the pick on soft ground when ahead of Roses All The Way; beaten about 6l in two novice hurdles so her turn will come; respected.

First and second in two of her four bumpers, finishing behind Getawhisky in the last at Aintree; came up about 7l short when a shade of odds-on for hurdling debut at Newton Abbot; should be all the sharper for that run.

Readily won Ffos Las bumper (good to soft) on debut last November and bettered that form when close second in Class 2 race at Warwick (soft) in February; well beaten in Aintree festival Grade 2 in April but in much calmer waters for this hurdle debut and commands respect.
