Has failed to distinguish herself since the controversy generated by her rider's unseat at the last in this race; travelled powerfully into the straight then and was well in command; out of her depth in a Listed race at Killarney last time; previously only a moderate third at Tramore, but in front of Oh So Charming and Hasten Slowly, with War Correspondent pulled up. |

Hasn't won since joining this yard last year after unseating with the race at her mercy in a Wexford claimer; decent efforts in opening two runs for this yard, but not at her best recently; needs to bounce back; cheekpieces go on. |

11st 11lb |
Won a beginners' at Tramore on chase debut on his penultimate start but it was a low-key run when sent off favourite for a handicap hurdle at Wexford last week; workable mark if he can bounce back (went close off mark of 100 last summer) and return to this sort of trip will probably help. |
