Form & Verdict

French bumper form makes for very good reading and she made amends for a surprise debut defeat over hurdles with a comfortable success in a winnable race on heavy ground at Fairyhouse; there are possible ground issues (best form has been on very soft or heavy) but she's clearly open to further progress for her top team and has not been without ante-post support.

Only 1-8 on the Flat but she was well up to Listed level and consistent; runner-up in both her hurdle races and she's a major player judged on her strong finish behind leading Triumph contender Hello Neighbour in a Grade 1 at Leopardstown last month (soft; fine on drier ground); 4yos have never threatened in this race (0-8) but none traded at shorter than 20-1 and six were no-hopers; interesting with her age allowance given she wouldn't have been out of place in the Grade 1 Triumph.

Beat all except Diva Luna in the Grade 2 bumper for mares at last season's Grand National meeting; came up short in a Listed race on hurdling debut (though was eyecatching) and has comfortably won her subsequent races, the latest at Windsor's Winter Million festival (soft, effective on good to soft) when conceding weight to Bluey; there's a suspicion that she'll hold her own but ultimately come up short, though her trainer isn't thinking along those lines.

Punchestown maiden hurdle winner in January last year; saddle slipped when pulled up on seasonal return in a mares' beginners' at Cork; no real excuses when tailed off here next time over C&D; better effort when a distant second in a beginners' back here latest; may do better now in handicap chases.

Form & Verdict

Has worn these aids throughout her career; won three of her four bumpers in France (all in the mud) but was hammered some 16l by Sixandahalf on hurdling debut at Fairyhouse (2m2f, yielding to soft); on the possible plus side, she was sent off odds-on favourite for that and her jumping could improve; nonetheless, it's hard to have confidence in her.

Had a subsequent Irish maiden hurdle winner just behind when runner-up at Auteuil in September 2023 (2m2f, very soft) but the form is nothing special; these powerful connections saw enough to get her on board but this race asks a huge question of her after so long out and Mark Walsh rides Karoline Banbou for the same owner.
