Placed in two Irish points before changing hands for 42,000gns; it was never in doubt when winning on soft ground at Ludlow and then a good-ground Listed affair at Cheltenham, having travelled the best on both occasions before forging clear; beat a few of these last time and she looks decidedly useful.

Placed in two Irish points before changing hands for 42,000gns; impressive winner of 13-runner race at Ludlow (soft; hooded; 15-2) on rules debut 19 days ago, smooth headway and forging clear; stable operating at 24% (6-25) in bumpers this season; more persuasive than many.

Bred to be useful, and she made a winning debut in nine-runner race at Plumpton (good to soft; 15-8 favourite) seven weeks ago, responding well to pressure to get up late on; that basic form looks ordinary but she's open to plenty of progress; tongue-strap added today.

Hung right for a long way when beaten 12l by Mullenbeg at Cheltenham in January, which was her first sighting since beating 15 rivals in a soft-ground renewal of this 12 months ago; returning to this venue has to be a good thing and she can leave that Cheltenham form behind.
