Form & Verdict
Second in Listed bumper at Navan on debut last season; confirmed that promise when winning easily at Punchestown; two lesser efforts in competitive bumpers; readily accounted for a couple of useful rivals on hurdling debut over 2m4f at this venue in November; failed to justify odds-on favouritism at Punchestown 13 days ago; quick reappearance may pay dividends.

All wins on heavy and soft ground, the latest in a Grade 2 over 2m4f at Thurles in January; lesser effort behind Marsh Wren (who was receiving 10lb) there since, though, and she would be getting weight from a few of these rivals in a handicap.

Form & Verdict
Dual bumper winner who was Listed-placed over hurdles in a 2m mares' contest at this venue in April; has headed the market on all six runs; beaten favourite for the fourth time when second in a 2m maiden at Gowran in November; longer trip should help, but overall profile raises doubts.

Won mares hurdle at Kilbeggan last summer and has been quite highly tried since, notably good second in a 3m Cork Listed; didn't jump well and never landed a blow in Grade 2 mares' novice at Thurles on latest and is now fitted with a tongue tie; again plenty on her plate here.

Has only won on goodish ground but seems effective on softer (rain forecast); solid second to My Gaffer from well off the pace after a break at Killarney and now better off at the weights with that rival; firmly in the mix.
