Form & Verdict

128-rated hurdler following handicap wins at Down Royal and Fairyhouse in March; opening chase mark was based on three runs last summer, and she made the most of the opportunity at Kilbeggan last week; looks capable of coping with a 10lb rise that still leaves her 12lb short of her hurdles mark.
