Listed winner at Thurles in February and made a fine return to action when readily accounting for today's rival Time To Rocco in a Listowel mares novice in September; 15lb worse off with that rival today but sets a very good standard here and is the one to beat.

Career best on this season's return when narrowly denied by Birdes Hill and that form was boosted by the runner-up but brought down at Limerick over Christmas and pulled up in the Grand National trial at Punchestown since; may bounce back over this sort of trip and can't be ruled out.
