T: W P Mullins

Displayed credentials for a race of this nature when a 12l third of 15 in the Mayo National at Ballinrobe last year off 132; ordinary form on last three starts last autumn and off the track since but now 3lb lower than she was at Ballinrobe and she needs checking in the market on return for top yard.

Useful mare, though not as effective as she promised to be early in her career; -1-9 over fences, placed four times, including third in the Mayo National; moderate run at Sligo last time, but has to be taken seriously.

Course winner at 15.5f; seems best on heavy ground and scored twice in those conditions earlier this year, over hurdles at Clonmel (16.5f) and over fences at Gowran (19.5f); capable off this mark and rain would boost his claims.
