One of three for trainer; trounced weak opposition on chase debut at Sligo in October on good to yielding; ran a nice race in a Grade 3 Thurles novice chase in March (2m6f, soft) and bounced back from a poor effort at Fairyhouse when a distant second of 20 in a 2m1f Listed contest last time; firmly in the mix.

135-rated hurdler trounced weak opposition on chase debut at Sligo in October; much stiffer tasks since in Graded novices', staying on remote third over 2m at Cork and last month when made plenty of use of at Thurles but didn't seem to get home when third over 2m6f (soft); return to 2m may suit on handicap debut.

Career-best when getting off the mark last month in 2m5f Fairyhouse mares' handicap chase off a mark of 123; runs off a mark 16lb below her revised 129 rating; definite chance, Jack Kennedy booked and cheekpieces added.

Maiden who was below par at Punchestown in May on her final run for Pat Fahy and same story on this month's stable debut at Sligo; however, she may have needed that run and she was second in a Listed mares' chase at Fairyhouse (2m5f, soft) in April; one of two for last year's winning Irish yard and she's not ruled out in a first-time tongue-tie.

Has failed to distinguish herself since the controversy generated by her rider's unseat at the last in this race; travelled powerfully into the straight then and was well in command; out of her depth in a Listed race at Killarney last time; previously only a moderate third at Tramore, but in front of Oh So Charming and Hasten Slowly, with War Correspondent pulled up.
