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.

Experienced hurdler is 1-14 in this sphere, the win coming in a mares' maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan; held by Maid On The Moon on their meeting at Leopardstown earlier this month but is better off at weights here and could get closer over this longer trip; visor now tried.

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.

0-9 over hurdles; best effort to date on latest when beaten 8.5l into fourth of 11 at Downpatrick (2m2f, good); dropping back in trip a plus on the evidence of that run but different ground to deal with here; not fully discounted if she handles the conditions.

Form & Verdict
Debut bumper winner at Naas early last year; good second in a Limerick maiden hurdle in October; form has been uneven since then but managed another second placing at Punchestown on penultimate hurdles start; looks the one to beat now after a pleasing third in a Flat maiden at Gowran; tongue-tie for first time.
