Has made the frame in two runs in maiden hurdles (soundly beaten both times) since a below-par Flat run at Navan; last season's Roscommon win was gained over 1m4f; later ran well over 1m6f at the Curragh, so no major stamina doubt.

Flat winner has placed a couple of times over hurdles, oftentimes exhibiting quirky behaviour; fourth at Bellewstown last time (2m1f, yielding) when 17.5l behind the winner; fighting it out for a place maybe the best he can hope for.

Mild promise in maidens; best handicap run was a staying on third (second won at Roscommon on Monday) over 1m4f at Cork last time in tongue-tie/cheekpieces combination; blinkers replace cheekpieces now; one to consider.

Form & Verdict
An unknown quantity at this trip, kept on for fifth over 1m1f at Leopardstown last month; could be in the mix in this modest grade if she stays effectively; worth bearing in mind she has missed five engagements this term for a variety of reasons.

Maiden shaped okay at times last season without really threatening to win; her best run came over this trip at Cork when a 2.75l fourth and she's 4lb lower now; lacks a run but can't dismiss.
