Made the frame in two bumpers towards end of last season but the form isn't anything to get too excited about and improvement is required on this hurdling debut.
Won slow-ground Irish point on debut in January and also showed promise on her first two hurdling starts (2m3f/2m4f); finished behind Kernie d'Airy on first occasion, though, and has quite a bit to find here.
Seen only twice since winning slow-ground French bumper on debut in November 2024 but was second on hurdle debut at Hereford (2m3f, good) in March and still has potential.
Runner-up in two good bumpers in the autumn, the latter a Listed contest at Huntingdon (soft); not disgraced in Grade 2 bumper at Aintree (good to soft) last month and is bred to be suited by today's longer trip; commands respect on hurdling debut.
Had breathing issue two starts ago but, with tongue-tie fitted, was creditable second of 13 at Stratford (2m, good) last month; will be fine over this longer trip and ought to be on the premises again.
Good-ground bumper winner who has made the frame on all five hurdling starts, most recently when third of 13 (just behind Lady Kara) in Stratford maiden (2m, good) a fortnight ago; her tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern but she's a contender if her stamina holds out over this new trip.
Safely held when switched to fences for handicap debut in January but was second in handicap hurdle at Haydock (3m, good) last month, having been badly hampered on the run-in; drops back in trip with cheekpieces added here; strong claims if in similar form again.
