Form & Verdict
Half-sister to the Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Al Boum Photo; found one too good after being involved in a couple of bumping incidents when odds-on for a seven-runner Galway bumper on debut last October; winner scored on merit, but there was a 10l gap to the third who won her next start by a big margin; should be more mature now.

Half-sister to Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Al Boum Photo has won bumpers at Sligo and more recently at Punchestown in June; promising start over hurdles following month when forcing most of pace in finishing third behind a stablemate in 2m6f Galway maiden; down in trip here against her own sex and major player with possible race-fitness edge.
