Form & Verdict

Consistent if fairly modest in bumpers last season; related to winning hurdlers but others appeal more; back from seven months off.

Form & Verdict

Three Irish point runs and the best of them when second in May (winner had shown nothing in three previous attempts); doubt the form is good enough to make her of interest on British/hurdling debut with tongue-strap on.

Improved with experience in Irish points, winning the latest in April (beat a subsequent winner but form could have worked out better); bought for £22,000; chasing pedigree so may need more time but worth market check.
