Favourite for four-runner bumper on debut in sole start for Tom Mullins but too keen when third; similarly enthusiastic at Ballinrobe in first run for this yard; towards rear throughout at Clonmel last time; tongue tie on for hurdles bow now.

Form & Verdict

Maiden has been unable to repeat the form of her runner-up finish in a Galway festival bumper last season, although highly tried at Listed and Grade 2 level; these are calmer waters for her hurdling bow.
