Won on debut in Aintree bumper (2m1f, good to soft) in October 2023 and made the frame in Listed mares' bumpers on her next three starts; no match for the winner when runner-up on this month's hurdle and seasonal debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) but nevertheless holds leading claims today.

Won an Aintree bumper (2m1f, good to soft) on debut last October and she reached the frame in Listed events at Cheltenham, Market Rasen and Sandown after that; returns after 237 days off, but she looks an interesting recruit to hurdling and is high on the list.

Won on debut at Aintree (2m1f, good to soft) in October and has made the frame in Listed races the next twice (2m, soft); her form stands up well compared to the others but she's taking on some unexposed types and will probably need to find something extra if she's to come out on top.
