T: Declan Queally

Top-rated at 132; 1-7 over hurdles; highly tried after Galway maiden win last October; failed to win but ran well in defeat in listed, grade 2 and grade 1 company at 2m4f-2m7f; below par on chase debut at Ballinrobe on latest but she's the one to beat on return to this sphere.

Has won a point-to-point, two bumpers and a maiden hurdle on varying ground; highly tried since that maiden win, placed several times in Graded company at up to 2m6f; outpaced by sole rival in 2m2f Cork conditions event on returning from a break last month which should have set her up nicely for this chase debut (yard had an impressive chase debut winner at Galway on Monday).

Point winner at Ballindenisk in December after two failures to complete; two good runs in mares' maiden hurdles; rider reported she hung left throughout when runner-up in a 2m event at Limerick; looked more amenable when 8l second in testing conditions over 2m3f at Clonmel; might prefer further but respected.

Rewarded for her consistency when getting the better of a good scrap in a 2m3f handicap hurdle at Navan two weeks ago; up another 5lb and the softer ground is a probable concern but certainly respected.
