Dual-purpose bumper winner for Willie Mullins; 0-4 over hurdles and shaped well when a 9l second in a maiden hurdle at Listowel last month on her third run for current yard; well-beaten on the Flat in sole run since but return to this sphere is a plus; sets the standard with a rating of 104 and should be in the mix.
