Three-time winner over timber; career highlight a 1.25l win in Red Mills Auction Final at this meeting last year (19.5f, yielding); excellent effort when a 3.5l second behind Champagne Kid on last start over hurdles at Leopardstown in December (20.5f, gd-yld); fit from a spin on the Flat last month but very soft ground would not be ideal; 1lb wrong.

Useful hurdler who won the Red Mills Auction Final over 2m3f at last season's Punchestown festival; only previous Flat attempt was over 1m6f; runs over an inadequate trip here; worth a look with a view to her likely return to hurdling.
