Point-to-point winner has finished second in a bumper and made frame in maiden hurdles; excuses on last month's handicap debut so remains a potential improver. |

Shed the maiden tag over fences at Punchestown (19.5f, yld-sft) in December off 6lb lower; not a bad run in listed novice handicap at Navan latest and this is much less demanding; seems best going right-handed so this track could suit; interesting. |

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. |

Sole win over fences came in a 2m6f beginners' at this venue; mostly been hurdling recently but ran respectably on return to chasing in the Connacht National at Roscommon on his latest start; that 3m1f trip stretched him, this distance is more suitable; should go well. |
