Point winner and subsequent 320,000euros purchase; useful form in defeat but beaten favourite three times, twice in bumpers and when second in a 2m4f maiden at Fairyhouse on hurdling debut; under pressure but challenging when falling two out over 2m at the same venue last time; may struggle to uphold bumper form with Dee's Lady.

Point-to-point winner; landed Navan maiden hurdle by 8.5l in March 2025; failed to complete three starts since, in a Grade 1 mares' novice at Fairyhouse (pulled up) and in beginners' chases at Down Royal (pulled up) and back at Fairyhouse (unseated); questions to answer on return to hurdling.

Form & Verdict
Beaten 25l in fourth on debut in a bumper at Fairyhouse in December; made a fine start over hurdles when second to the highly-regarded Maughreen at Punchestown, the form looks rock-solid since third place went to Familiar Dreams, winner of four bumpers and a recent maiden hurdle scorer; can reverse bumper form with the more exposed Swing Davis; tongue-tie fitted.

Some placed form in maiden hurdles on heavy ground before making immediate impact on handicap debut at Leopardstown (2m3f, soft to heavy) off 108; creditable second on chasing debut at Downpatrick last time (2m4f, yielding to soft); new headgear goes on and she's a player, although has never encountered this better ground.

Runner-up in both maiden hurdles last season; looked in need of the run on return in decent company at Naas in December; bounced back from a poor Naas run when making a winning handicap debut at Leopardstown; has the scope to make a chaser; noteworthy she is seen straight over fences now after that success.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up on her sole point-to-point; shaped well before fading late into fourth in a competitive mares' maiden on her hurdles debut over C&D in November; did not help her chance by repeatedly jumping left when third (beaten favourite) at Thurles ten weeks ago; should do better going left-handed again now.
