Two of her three wins over hurdles have come at Tramore; however, she was a long way below her best in a similar race to this at that course last month; that run was prefaced by weak form at Dundalk during the winter.

Form & Verdict
Money was down when he won a recent claiming hurdle at Clonmel with plenty to spare; has a good chance at the weights, meeting several key rivals on better than handicap terms; the main concern is his lack of success on the Flat since 2019 when he was an AW scorer in France; also declared 4.45 Sligo Tuesday
