Bagged back-to-back mares' handicap hurdles in January/March at Down Royal and Leopardstown at 2m1f/2m3f on soft ground; form has dipped in three runs since, including when beaten 18.5l at Galway last time (2m1f, good); cheekpieces return and the tongue tie is new; one of the top rated over hurdles for this chasing bow but needs to bring her best.
