0-23 over hurdles but she has finished second four times; beaten 5l into second at Leopardstown off 86 in March 2023; went close off 84, 86 and 87 later that year; well-handicapped now off 80 but she hasn't shown enough in four runs this season; needs a revival. |

Dual-purpose performer who is not easy to predict but he returned to the Flat with an eyecatching third over C&D (hood reapplied) on recent stable debut; could be dangerous if he can back that up and he's in the mix. |
