Bumper winner and has done well to finish second in a couple of ordinary maiden hurdles at Naas and here last week; this is probably a stronger contest but she could get into the frame.

Form & Verdict
Dual winner as a two-year-old for Johnny Murtagh and gained a third win for her current trainer in a 1m Bellewstown handicap last month; has cut little ice since but going hurdling which is a little bit of a surprise as she has only run beyond 7f once on the Flat; tried in cheekpieces and an interesting runner.
