Form & Verdict

Some useful form in bumpers before getting off the mark with improved effort on sixth attempt, seemingly appreciating greater stamina test under positive ride in 2m2f mares contest here last month (heavy); trip should suit on hurdles debut.

Second foal; half-sister to 2m3f hurdle winner Red Windsor; dam placed 2m6f hurdler, sister to hurdle/chase winner For 'N' Against; belied her 150-1 odds on debut in 16-runner Limerick mares' maiden over this trip at Christmas, only caught close home by hot favourite after leading run-in; more likely required here but has to be considered.
