McManus-bred maiden has yet to place in 10 hurdle runs, but money for her last twice when shaping a little better at Wexford.

One of his better efforts came over 2m4f (good) here two weeks ago when a 10l seventh of 14; back up in trip now and down 2lb.

Showed a bit more when seventh in handicap (2m4f, hvy) at Fairyhouse but failed to progress upped to 3m2f next time; dropped another 3lb; bumper form on better ground gives hope conditions can bring improvement down in trip.

Placed in two bumpers last year; weak maiden hurdle form; pulled up on handicap debut at Gowran; cheekpieces added to usual tongue-tie.

J: Ben Harvey

T: William Harvey

Best effort in maidens his last one, a 13l sixth of 14 at Navan (2m5f, yielding); opening mark of 107 could be workable on that evidence (split 113 and 110 rated rivals); not discounted on handicap bow.
