Form & Verdict
Out of a sister to the classy Yorkhill; plenty of debut promise at Thurles in February, staying on under considerate enough handling over 2m to finish third to an odds-on stablemate, shaping as though longer would suit; likely the one to beat now getting a greater stamina test.

J: Paul Townend

T: W P Mullins

Won a 2m3f Limerick bumper on testing ground last term, following up at Tipperary before landing a hat-trick on hurdle bow at Fairyhouse on November's return, defying inexperience; that form has worked out okay and while he was a beaten favourite at Navan since, he might be ready for a step up in trip here; now tried with tongue-tie and hood for the first time.

Impressive point-to-point winner at Loughrea earlier in the season and placed in both bumpers, notably when clear second to an odds-on shot at Navan on heavy; headgear combination now tried and major player.

Maiden hurdle winner here last month but was tailed off when stepped up in trip for handicap debut at Sligo since; return to an intermediate trip should suit and return to this venue may also help; interesting.
