Near best form when second of 6 in minor event chase at Nantes (21.4f, soft, 19/10) in May. Since joined Nicky Henderson and warrants plenty of respect on yard debut.

Made the frame on several occasions last term and posted good second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Wincanton (21.4f, good, 12/1) on return 21 days ago. Cheekpieces now added for first time and not taken lightly.

Verdict
Lost her way for Gary Moore after a claiming win in January but revived at the first time of asking for this yard when landing a Newton Abbot handicap (16.8f) in June. This looks tougher but she will be fit from a spell on the Flat.

Off the mark at Southwell (15.8f) in June and backed that up with good second at Newton Abbot a fortnight later. Wasn't in same form when last seen at Worcester in June, however, and tries longer trip now. Hood back on.
