Not beaten far when sixth at Hereford; has major claims in a race very much lacking depth

Has never come close to posing a serious threat; well beaten at 33-1 on recent h'cap debut

Now goes handicapping at a longer trip off lowly mark and there's stamina in her pedigree

No improvement for switch to h'caps and tailed off at 80-1 on both attempts in this sphere

Hasn't been devoid of promise but she was pulled up at 40-1 on her recent handicap debut

10yo; 0-12 under rules but has fallen down the weights & the return to hurdles could help

Three point wins in May/June 2024 but pulled up on both runs this season, after absence
