Form & Verdict
Made all to win a weak 2m4f maiden hurdle at Wexford in May 2021 on her stable debut; confirmed a decent standard of form when 13l second in a novice event at Punchestown later that month; should be a lot better for her recent comeback at Navan after a 531-day absence.

This is tougher than the Tramore handicap that she won (over 2m5f on soft) but that was a big step up on her previous form and she's still lightly raced; raised 7lb.

Looked a bright prospect after winning a point at Boulta (last December) and a Cork bumper in January, making all to beat subsequent maiden hurdle winner Henning; lost form after that, but could be interesting off a mark of 92 if first-time cheekpieces can spark a revival.
