Is useful on his day as when beating some decent sorts in a Fairyhouse conditions hurdle in November; best run since when beaten 10l in a 2m5f Fairyhouse handicap last time; this trip is a query.

Beat some useful sorts when scoring in a rated hurdle here in November (20.4f, sft-hvy) but struggled in handicaps on next two starts and his third here on latest in February was a remote one; just 1lb lower now; others have more pressing claims.

Took the scalps of Air Of Entitlement and Bacchanalian when scoring in a four-runner rated race over C&D (sft-hvy) in November; no show in handicaps twice since and failed to complete at Navan last time; eased 3lb and return to this track a plus but needs to rebound.

Form & Verdict
Point/bumper winner; easy winner of a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Down Royal last Christmas; no problem with the shorter distance (2m1f) when beating the favourite Sixandahalf in the Grade 2 mares' novice at Cheltenham; failed to reproduce that form in 2m4f Grade 1 mares' event here in April; no easy task here giving weight to the geldings; stable's form a positive.

Won the mares' novice hurdle at last season's Cheltenham Festival (2m1f, good to soft) and returned to form to win the Martin Pipe Handicap there (2m4f, soft) last month; she has something to find now back up in grade, even with the 7lb mares' allowance, but she powered up the hill last time and has an Irish National winner in her pedigree, so the step up in trip might prompt further improvement; not discounted.

Stays 2m4f; got up close home in the Grade 2 novice hurdle for mares at this meeting 12 months ago (2m1f, good to soft); no further progress in three starts since, disappointing in Listed handicap latest, but may raise her game returned to the Cheltenham Festival; not ruled out.
