Promise in bumpers before a nose defeat on hurdles debut over 2m at this venue last November; not at her best at Punchestown in January; back in form to record two third placings at Ballinrobe, though more was expected when favourite on latest; not sure to be suited by this trip.

Just one win in 24, and Ffos Las near-miss on second outing for current handler likely owed something to the drop to 0-105 company (3m, heavy); limitations exposed again since and this is tougher still.

Navan fourth in March was a step in the right direction but ran no sort of race at Naas and was well beaten off a mark of 102 on his handicap debut at Bellewstown; meets Cut The Rope on 14lb worse than handicap terms.
