Rated 114; won a mares' maiden hurdle at Tramore (21.5f, gd-yld) on penultimate; not as good on latest in a mares' hurdle at Kilbeggan (2m3f, good); the step back up in trip is a plus so she could rebound.

Form & Verdict
Showed improved form to win a 2m2f Kilbeggan maiden hurdle and was a solid second over a similar trip there since; progressive type should stay this distance and looks a big player.

Two hurdle wins last year, a maiden at Kilbeggan (good) and a three-runner novice event at this venue (good); 110-rated gelding out of the great Solerina; interesting on chase debut given his status as a course winner.

Two wins this year, a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan (18.5f, good) and a three runner novice hurdle at Tramore (20.5f, good); beaten 5.5l off 110 in a Clonmel handicap 10 days ago; much more needed to be competitive upped in trip in this grade.

Beaten in four bumpers and two hurdles but still one of the key form players and raced quite keenly over 2m6f last time, so this sharper test is probably the right move.

Placed in three of four starts in bumpers on good and soft ground; encouraging run on hurdling debut at Cork (2m3f, soft) after 194 day break; should strip fitter for that and shaped like further would suit; leading claims with rider taking off a handy 7lb.
