Dual Cheltenham bumper winner for Oliver Sherwood last season, latterly in a Listed race; not particularly impressive when winning modest mares' hurdle at very skinny odds at Warwick (2m, good) in May, but ought to be capable of much better than that bare form; now with Harry Derham.

30th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Two Cheltenham bumper wins included a Listed race; didn't please everyone on her hurdling debut at Warwick but made it 2-2 in this scene when coming clear of a promising previous winner at Kempton; that was a lot more like it and should be hard to beat back against her own sex. |

Never really got involved in Champion Bumper at Cheltenham in March but won two good-ground Cheltenham bumpers (one a Listed race) by a combined total of 18l last year, and her odds-on defeat at Market Rasen (good to soft) in February came at the hands of a subsequent Grade 2 Aintree festival winner; appears to have been found a simple task on today's hurdling debut. |

18th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Won a maiden at Wincanton on hurdles/seasonal debut last October (1m7f, good); runner-up on all four completed outings after that, the latest when stepped up to 2m5f at Kempton in April (good); not always the most fluent of jumpers over hurdles but may do better now going chasing. |

Won by 10l on hurdle debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good) in October and was runner-up on next three appearances (2m-2m3f; once here); arguably looked most likely winner before last-flight fall at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) last month and has another big role to play here. |

Won a bumper for Fergal O'Brien last spring and built upon very promising stable/hurdle debut when scoring comfortably at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) in December; jumped poorly and was disappointing odds-on favourite when upped to 2m5f at Hereford in January but will be a tough nut to crack if all goes well here. |
