Only win came on the Flat in 2023; back to something like her best with a third at Tipperary on penultimate start but not as good at Killarney since and this is tough race to try and break the maiden tag. |

Decisive winner of handicap chase at Wexford (25.5f, good) last July off 4lb lower; pulled up both starts since returning from a break, in the Ulster National and over the banks at Punchestown; this more suitable but others arrive in better form. |

1-10 over hurdles but without a win since scoring in a Tipperary maiden (16.5f, soft) in October 2024; not a bad run at Cork on penultimate (2m4f, yielding) but didn't back it up at Punchestown latest; others look more solid. |

Big-field Fairyhouse handicap hurdle winner on New Year's Day 2025 off 1lb higher (3m1f, yielding to soft); well beaten in final starts for Liam Cusack, but his fourth at Punchestown on stable debut was a positive (2m7f, heavy); 100-30 favourite at Downpatrick last time but was never travelling; questions to answer now. |
