Form & Verdict
Unplaced when just 2-1 for last month's Flat handicap debut at Lingfield (2m, AW) but justified favouritism in good style at Salisbury (1m6f, good to firm) subsequently; did it in good style and she still appeals as being well treated under a 4lb penalty, especially in view of her hurdling ability.

Developed into fairly useful hurdler when fitted with a visor last year, winning four times (2m4f-2m7f); didn't show a great deal in three AW novice races (8.6f-1m3f) in March and was soundly beaten when upped to 2m for recent handicap debut (visor refitted) but she may yet transfer some of that hurdling ability to this code.
