Form & Verdict
Consistent over fences recently; finished second at Naas in December (2m, heavy) and bounced back from a below par run with two runner-up finishes in his last two starts at Navan (3m, soft to heavy) and Fairyhouse (3m, heavy); makes stable debut back over hurdles off a 9lb lower mark, but may not be as effective over timber and ground also a question.

Could feature in this grade if recapturing the solid form she showed last August; however, plenty to prove on account of failures to complete on final start last year and on return last month.

Placed in three successive races in August at 2m2f-22.5f; unseen since being pulled up at Listowel in September (2m6f, good to yielding) when wearing a first-time tongue tie, which is now left off; others preferred.

First reserve; placed in three successive races in August at 2m2f-22.5f; probably didn't stay 3m1f at Kilbeggan on latest; drops back in trip now and tongue tie goes on; not out of this.

Form: B-0025

Last run: 138 days

OR: 80

Form & Verdict
Took a big step forward off reduced mark in first-time cheekpieces at Punchestown in October when second to a clear winner (2m4f, good to yielding); respectable enough effort on soft ground at Tramore last time when fifth (2m5f); trainer in better form now, so not discounted.

Standout effort a 4.75l second of 20 at Punchestown last October off 80 (2m4f, good to yielding); pulled up on return at Down Royal but much-improved fourth of 21 at Cork (24.5f, good) this month when making good headway from rear; shortlisted.

Standout effort a 4.75l second of 20 off this mark at Punchestown last October (2m4f, gd-yld); pulled up on return from a 138-day break at Down Royal latest (3m, good); may have needed that and not discounted.
