Form & Verdict
Unbeaten in two bumpers last year; failed to run to expectations on her first three starts over hurdles; after nine months off, better effort when second in mares' maiden at Kilbeggan in July; getting the hang of things judged on subsequent win at the same venue, though showed a tendency to jump to the left; this left-handed track may suit.
