Two hurdle wins include 2m Thurles mares novice in December; ran better than position suggests in Grade 2 Ryanair Mares' Novice at Cheltenham latest, slowly away and bit short of room before last; lots to find however.

Useful bumper form but hammered by Bambino Fever when they once clashed in that scene; steadily progressive hurdler and her trainer targeted this race straight after she won a Listed race at Thurles in December (yielding); probably playing for the places, however.

Point-to-point form doesn't offer much encouragement and has been well beaten in a Galway bumper and Sligo maiden hurdle most recently; needs to find heaps of improvement.

Won a point but failed to get that competitive in her three bumpers, albeit the first was a Grade 2; returns from a long absence but top connections have kept the faith and this race has no depth to it.
