Three bumper starts for Peter Flood; ran green and weakened late on but showed some ability on debut at Fairyhouse last December; gave a satisfactory display when beaten around 5l in sixth behind a Willie Mullins-trained odds-on shot at Ballinrobe; faded late at Killarney; could go well on stable/hurdling debut.

Three-time hurdles winner; sound effort on chase debut in a beginners' at Downpatrick (20.5f, gd-yld) when a 5l third but tailed off on softer ground at Fairyhouse (2m) on latest in January; soft ground a concern on handicap chase bow.

One of two runners for yard; has shown ability over timber and was second in a Sligo maiden hurdle in July; was still in with a chance when falling in a handicap hurdle at Wexford on latest; is related to a couple of chase winners and is in good hands; leading claims if her jumping holds up.
