Won three times at up to 1m4f at a modest level last year; her middle effort in maidens reads well with a view to this initial mark and she's considered.

Last three Flat runs resulted in wins at Tramore, Limerick and back at Tramore, all at around 1m4f on good and good to yielding ground; no show in maiden hurdles in the autumn; could resume progress back on the Flat; won first time out last season.

Progressed from low base to complete hat-trick of handicap wins on the Flat over the summer, at Tramore (twice) and Limerick on decent ground; half-sister to a couple of winning hurdlers so could well take to this discipline although may not want too much rain.

Maiden after 23 runs; placed seven times up to 1m4f; two respectable runs this season, plenty of horses behind him on both occasions, seventh of 17 at Leopardstown and sixth of 23 at Navan; hard to be confident but may reward the persistence of connections at some point.

Maiden on the Flat after 18 attempts, rated a lowly 51; now looks a different proposition after a promising introduction to hurdling at Clonmel; despite suffering interference, stayed on well over a similar trip to this, form strongly advertised by the winner Minella Diamond in winning easily at Limerick on Thursday

0-17 on the Flat (0-9 on turf); went close off 6lb higher at Tramore last August (1m4f, gd-yld); some fair efforts in defeat on AW this year; could go well with drying ground a plus.
