Comfortably saw off Sea Of Doubt at Downpatrick two weeks ago (2m2f, good) but she went up 8lb for that and doesn't always follow one good run with another.

Modest form in maidens and his third on handicap bow at Kilbeggan (2m3f, good) was a remote one; just 1lb lower now and will need more dropped back in distance.

Okay run in opening academy hurdle last year when fifth behind the useful Quinta Do Lago at Cork (2m2f, good); heavy ground was a possible excuse at Punchestown next time; got loose before the start in maiden company at Downpatrick in May when tailed off; may do better now in handicaps.
