Progressive 1m6f Flat winner in Ireland last summer for John Joseph Murphy; is going very much the right way in this sphere too for her new yard, comfortably making it 2-3 over hurdles in 2m juvenile at Newbury in December; this demands plenty more but she shouldn't be underestimated after a break.

Form & Verdict
Minor maiden promise; only sixth of seven on handicap debut at Dundalk (1m2f) but did go off at only 4-1 and wasn't seen to best effect from off the pace (finished one position behind Sottsands); remains of interest and blinkers are now tried.

Maiden had been running well in defeat, including third here in May (1m3f) and Ballinrobe third (1m2f); didn't convince twice over 1m4f at Galway last month so legitimate stamina concerns upped further in trip here.

Looked unlucky not to make winning handicap hurdle debut at Wetherby (2m, good to soft; made bad jumping error) in March but gained compensation with 21l win at Hereford (2m3f, good to firm) a week ago; ought to be hard to beat under 7lb penalty here.

A fair ex-Irish Flat maiden; brought along steadily over hurdles for current yard before much improved on his handicap debut (on the back of a wind op) when second of 11 at Wetherby (2m) in March, only just failing after a late blunder; major shout despite a 6lb rise.

Never a threat when behind Ice Jet at Navan (1m2f, good) on his penultimate run and fared no better at Cork (1m4f, soft) when tried in cheekpieces; those aids are now removed, as is the tongue-tie sported on his last four starts; bit to prove now.

Six defeats include three handicaps but he's run well this season over 1m at Bellewstown (good) and Gowran (heavy); however, only 1lb lower this time and 1m3f isn't an obvious positive on his pedigree.

79-rated gelding won twice in June at Cork and Leopardstown, both over 1m on nice ground; midfield on soft to heavy at the Curragh latest (1m) and has hinted that this sort of trip might suit, though he's not bred for it.
