Smart dual-purpose performer for his previous yard; well beaten in two hurdles for Gordon Elliott, though the latest was at Cheltenham in March and before then he made the frame over this far on the AW; needs considering.

French soft ground winner won over 2m at Clonmel last year off 76 and later added AW win; restricted campaign this year, never counting at Galway last time over 1m4f and has twice missed engagements since due to yielding ground; remains a bit high in the handicap.

Outclassed in a Listed two runs back but won her two handicaps either side of that (both 1m on soft/heavy) and was backed off the boards (40-1 into 5-4) before making all under Conor Stone-Walsh at Cork 11 days ago; 10lb rise asks a question of her but clearly a contender provided she's as effective on this different surface.

Off the mark on first start for new yard when landing Bellewstown handicap over 1m early this month in first-time hood, racing prominently and getting up late for comfortable success; good chance of staying this longer trip on that evidence and although officially 2lb wrong here could well make a bold bid.
