4yo Blue Bresil filly comes from the same family as Carrigmoornaspruce; won Ballinrobe bumper in August and successful hurdles debut last month at Listowel, jumping well in the main to win with some ease in 4yo maiden (good-to-yielding); type to keep improving and Kennedy's pick but this could prove a stiff task at this stage.

Form & Verdict
Kilbeggan maiden hurdle winner last summer has been well beaten in much stronger company and faller on recent chase debut; looks to have it to do at the weights and probably wants better ground.

T: John Patrick Ryan

Rated 106 over hurdles; was beaten when falling in sole chase start in a Tramore novice (2m, soft); 8l fifth in handicap hurdle at Clonmel latest (16.5f, gd-yld); stamina in pedigree so could improve for this longer trip but others preferred.

J: Donagh Meyler

T: John Patrick Ryan

Kilbeggan maiden hurdle winner last summer after four consecutive placed efforts; out of her depth subsequently in much stronger company; faller on chase debut at Tramore in January; again set an ambitious task as outsider of three in a conditions hurdle at Limerick in March, this is more realistic.
