Form & Verdict
Won 2m Fairyhouse maiden hurdle last season and but failed to feature in better company; encouraging chase debut third behind a smart mare at Tipperary in November and better again when runner-up (winner has won again since) in Fairyhouse beginners latest; big player if handling this quicker ground.

Better than ever since sent back to the Flat after three runs over fences during the winter; justified favouritism in a 1m6f Listed race at Gowran Park, 2m Listed event at Down Royal and 1m6f Group 3 at Fairyhouse on last three outings, all on good ground; more to prove on soft (despite winning a maiden hurdle) but she needs major respect.
