Form & Verdict
Has shown ability in two bumpers and three maiden/novice hurdles, with her best effort when runner-up to a smart one at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) in November; however, she was pulled up in December when last seen and her opening mark doesn't look overly generous.

Failed to progress for previous stable and, having shaped with promise over C&D for new stable in January, is taking a similar path, most recently finishing a 17l third in first-time cheekpieces last month; goes up again in trip but needs to turn things around.
