Was the 1-8 favourite when winning a mares' maiden hurdle at Cork (2m1f, good to yielding) last year; behind Killinure Lass on return from a break at Galway in a handicap hurdle last time but should improve for the run; now makes chase debut for top yard and always dangerous to discount horses from this stable, but she does have plenty to prove.
