Form & Verdict

Ordinary form in three maiden runs for Willie Mullins; beaten 23l in first start for this yard in a mares' maiden at Fairyhouse; dropped away rapidly from two out on handicap debut at Leopardstown on Monday; quick reappearance suggests an excuse may have been found for her poor effort.

Form & Verdict

Respectable efforts in a couple of maiden hurdles on good ground last June; not a bad effort in mid-field at Thurles in November in first handicap; improved from that when fourth in a 22-runner contest over 2m4f at Cork in December; first run for Philip Dempsey who drops him back to 2m.
