Still a maiden after 42 starts but solid effort over hurdles at Sligo (2m4f, good) on penultimate when staying on dourly to take second (Island McCoo back in fourth); ran no race here over fences last week; hard to trust.

Narrow winner of a Punchestown bumper on debut early last year; not seen until a respectable sixth of 16 in the Grade 2 mares' bumper at Aintree towards the end of last season; failed to build on that in Grade 3 contest at the Punchestown festival; presumably has had issues, but the bar is set low for her hurdling debut.
