Verdict
Left her hurdling debut form behind faced with less testing conditions when second in a Newton Abbot novice (21f) in June. Shaped better than the bare result at Ludlow 5 months on and of some interest now switching to a handicap.

Fair bumper winner and latest 2 lengths second in 19.5f Hereford handicap hurdle suggests she can cash in off her basement mark.

Fairly useful Flat winner in Ireland but yet to match that level over hurdles. Pulled up on chase debut last month and quickly reverts to the smaller obstacles.

Modest form at best, beaten 25 lengths when sixth on 19f Chepstow handicap debut 19 days ago. Dropped 2 lb but it doesn't look enough.

Verdict
Promise on first of 2 starts in bumpers. Comfortably held in maiden hurdles this season but in good hands and it would be a surprise to see her prove a different proposition in handicaps.
