J: Mr J C Barry

Took well to hurdles, winning at Ballinrobe and Listowel last year before good second at Punchestown in October; fair Flat form over shorter trips than today's so stamina concerns on comeback run.

73-rated on the Flat after five runs in maidens, placed twice; made immediate over hurdling when taking a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle in August; failed to confirm the form of that race with Cinnamon Coco at Down Royal; much more like it when winning at Listowel; clashes for a third time with Joseph O'Brien's runner who may have his measure.

Made all to win over hurdles here in May and bounced back from a poor Galway run to again make all to win a Wexford handicap hurdle six days ago; goes well here and should be a player but likes to get her own way in front.

Has lost her way until comfortably landing an eight-runner Tramore handicap in May (2m, good); given an easy lead that day and couldn't back it up at Galway when tailed off (2m1f, good); needs things to go her way.

Consistent efforts in bumpers and maiden hurdles rewarded when readily accounting for today's rival Whats New in a Sligo maiden hurdle last month; up 5lb for that and more needed in his first handicap but looks to be going the right way.
