Career has been punctuated by two lengthy absences; bumper winner at Ballinrobe in 2019; won a 2m4f Punchestown maiden hurdle two years ago; after 661 days off, made mistakes and pulled-up at Naas in January; definite encouragement from last month's Fairyhouse run behind odds-on stablemate Instit.

Bumper/hurdle winner who has returned this season from a long absence; 0-5 over fences (2m2f-3m) and didn't offer much over the longer trip on her switch to handicaps at Fairyhouse; perhaps a tongue-tie will help matters.
