OR:

Form & Verdict
Has obtained plenty of experience in France; placed in three of her four starts over hurdles, and two of her three races over fences; all form on heavy or very soft; interesting on the basis of her form links to La Boetie who went close to winning a Grade 3 chase at Compiegne in April.

Plenty of placed form, including at this trip, over hurdles and fences in France; off the mark on Irish debut in Killarney maiden in October; appeared to run very well when third to last season's smart juveniles Pied Piper and Knight Salute at Cheltenham but probably flattered by her proximity in what was a very steadily-run contest; respected nonetheless.

Decent level of chase form and bumped into an improver when just denied at Tramore last time; handy 7lb claimed and will handle an ease although doesn't want it too testing.

Point winner has a record of 1-10 over hurdles but has run creditably faced with stiff tasks at times; made a solid start to chasing when second to a better fancied stablemate at Tipperary; should go close with more to come.

Showed ability when 12l second at Limerick in March; that was over 3m, and she would have a better chance in a handicap over a longer trip than this.
