Low-mileage 8yo; switched to chasing in last two appearances, looking a non-stayer over 2m6f latest; registered comfortable wins in non-handicaps over hurdles (2m3f/2m4f) in 2024 and 2025 but faces a stiffer assignment off a mark of 138 in this deeper field; tongue-tie applied.

Point winner has won a Wexford bumper before taking a 2m3f maiden hurdle here; rebounded from a poor Galway run over 2m to win a Listowel conditions event back over 2m4f; this trip looks within reach; probably the yard's first-string so is a big player.

Good runs in defeat in four bumper starts and made her move too soon when fading into third in a nine-runner mares' bumper at Down Royal last month; probably needs career best for win purposes but holds each-way claims.
