6 yo Mare

OR:

Form & Verdict
Promising mare; she was a useful bumper performer and has taken well to hurdles; really encouraging effort on hurdling debut when third to Hiddenvalley Lake and backed up that performance when second at Naas last time out; was well beaten that day but the winner looks smart and the race was in a strong time; she will have no issue with the trip and handles soft ground well; will prove difficult to beat.

Easily won a Punchestown maiden in January; had excuses when beaten there since but showed improved form to beat stablemate Hauteriere in a Limerick Grade 3 over 2m6f last time; 3lb worse off with that rival today but should confirm the form.

Came good for Sandy Thomson at third attempt, with comfortable win at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) in February, and put a lesser run behind her when close at fourth at Cartmel (2m1f, good to soft) last month; this move back up in trip will suit; may yet have a bigger run in her.
