Form & Verdict

Hails from leading yard and very talented over hurdles (best RPR 154); pleasing second behind decent sort on Flat bow at Tramore (2m, good to yielding); has never won on good ground but he is a classy sort; major chance.

Form & Verdict

Won a handicap hurdle on latest start at Tramore last month off 105; in-form yard and likes good ground but faces some tough opponents on her Flat debut; could outrun her likely odds but probably outside place claims at best.
