Form & Verdict
Two wins in bumpers, including at this venue; won 2m3f Listed mares' novice hurdle at Punchestown in December 2022; has usually run in good company, twice second to Hispanic Moon in small-field Punchestown races in the season just ended; creditable third in a handicap at Ayr last time; should be much too good for these rivals if jumping adequately.

Listed winner over hurdles made the ideal start over fences with a comfortable success over 2m5f at Killarney in May; jumped left and probably didn't stay effectively behind Reverend Hubert at Punchestown; will be more at home over this shorter trip than most and likely to go well.
