Best of four maiden hurdle runs was an 8.5l third of 15 at Sligo in first-time cheekpieces (17.5f, good); headgear left off at this track last time when well beaten (2m2f, good); hood goes on now, and she could be an improver entering handicaps.

Showed some ability in two Flat starts last year; the best of three maiden hurdle runs when third at Limerick last time, just behind Janes Harbour, a bad mistake costing her; the cheekpieces worn then are retained and can go closer today if error-free.
