Form & Verdict

Waldgeist filly for whom little went right (slowly away) on Gowran debut but was putting in good work at the finish over extended 1m1f; above-average improvement likely.

Form & Verdict

Half-sister to winners Story Rory (2m4f-2m6f hurdle) and Roll With It (2m4f hurdle/3m1f chase); dam useful bumper/2m-2m2f hurdle winner, half-sister to useful bumper/2m4f hurdle winner Gem Daly; going on her pedigree, surprising if she's sharp enough to land this on debut and probably best watched.

Well-bred type was 4-1 for Curragh debut over 1m4f, blew the start when 8l off Mother Nature; should get closer but it's a fair gap to bridge.
