Won bumpers at Ballinrobe and Roscommon in the early stages of last season; could manage only fourth of six when favourite for a Listed bumper at Cheltenham last November; ready to run on the Flat at Gowran recently, withdrawn after refusing to load; beat a subsequent Listed bumper winner at Roscommon, merits respect.

Sligo maiden hurdle winner in August of last year (17.5f, soft); soundly beaten in mares' hurdles at Bellewstown (2m1f, good) and Listowel (2m4f, yld-sft) the last twice; could rebound back in handicap company but stamina to prove.

Lowest rated of the bunch; sole win came in a Downpatrick mares' maiden hurdle last year (2m1f, soft); has been chasing in recent times with little success; back over hurdles at Bellewstown late last month when beaten 17l by Adela Icon; hard to see her turning that around.
