Form & Verdict
Won a Punchestown bumper on debut two years ago; off for 13 months before a fair sixth in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree last April; has developed a concerning profile over hurdles, poor form on her two completed starts and has fallen twice when set to be involved in the finish; clear chance if none the worse for recent Navan mishap.
