J: Yudish Geerdharry

T: Adrian Sexton

Dual-purpose maiden is 0-7 on turf on the Flat; triple figure odds for all six starts for this stable and hasn't troubled the judge; very hard to make a case for from 3lb out of the handicap.

Two wins last year over slightly further than this at Tipperary (gd-fm) and Clonmel (soft); remains 3lb above that last success and tailed off over hurdles at Killarney 23 days ago.

Didn't jump with fluency when running no race in sole hurdles start at Punchestown in 2024 for Noel Meade; bagged a Flat win at Clonmel in September off 48 (1m2f, soft); moderate form in three Flat starts since.

Ground versatile sort won at Clonmel on penultimate (9.5f, soft); came up short off revised mark at Gowran latest; stamina to prove for this trip and may be on a tough mark.
