Pulled up on sole start for Martin Brassil in a 2m3f Clonmel maiden last year; beaten 48L over 2m4f at Killarney on first start for Peter Fahey after 518-day break; needs to improve hugely on that; outsider.

The most experienced mare in the field and rated 123 over fences; has often been highly tried to no avail, including when tailed off in Punchestown mares' Grade 2 latest; sights are lowered now and seems to handle most ground; chance.
