Form & Verdict
Followed up her Hereford win over C&D 16 days ago, though had to work hard to do so; shoulders a double penalty and she probably has greater potential over further, but she's still the one to beat.

Defied a double penalty when completing a hat-trick in a novice hurdle here (2m1f, good) in June; that was a brave success, but she made mistakes and was beaten when unseating at the last on handicap/chase debut at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) last time; has something to prove again after that and she needs to eliminate the errors.

Defied a double penalty when completing her hat-trick over hurdles at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) 18 days ago; connections wasting little time in switching to fences for handicap debut and she looks to have been crying out for this longer trip; on a workable mark and could improve again.

Form & Verdict
Steadily progressive over middle distances in maidens on the Flat in Ireland last year, winning her final start at the Curragh (1m4f, heavy) in October before changing hands for 60,000gns that same month; will not be inconvenienced by any rain and is a likely type to make a hurdler; makes plenty of appeal on stable debut.

Ended five-race Irish Flat career with 1m4f maiden win in October and has performed well in three novice/maiden hurdles for new stable this season, most notably when winning by 10l at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) two runs ago; can be in the shake-up if suited by this new trip.

0-8 in bumpers and 0-4 over hurdles when based in Ireland but belied 200-1 odds when very respectable sixth of 19 in good-quality Naas maiden (2m, soft to heavy) on latest outing in December; should be okay on the much quicker ground here and new stable tends to do well with new recruits.
