Modest form in maidens and handicaps for his previous trainer; more encouraging on yard debut in 2m5f Down Royal handicap in March when well backed and finishing third; flopped when favourite at Wexford; cheekpieces now as well a usual tongue-tie. |

11st 2lb |
Won a point and seems to have improved markedly for having fences back in front of her; won a Downpatrick restricted beginners' by 10l and the runner-up won a handicap by the same margin next time; stays farther and plenty to like. |

Some decent form when trained in Britain; couple of fair efforts in handicap hurdles since joining this yard, including when fifth of 12 here (2m6f) last time; 99-rated hurdler should be in the mix if she takes to larger obstacles. |

Brother to useful hurdler/chaser Donnacha (best at 2m4f); improved for cheekpieces when second in pair of 2m4f handicaps on good ground; bad early mistake when unable to land a blow on chase debut over 2m7f last time. |

Maiden hurdler has shown improvement upped in trip last twice in 2m4f handicaps, runner-up at Sligo and Wexford on good ground; brother Donnacha is a better chaser, so could improve for this switch in codes. |
