Form & Verdict
Irish point winner who has made the frame on all three hurdling starts; faded into third (about 4l behind Wendywilldo) at Wetherby (2m3f, good to soft) on Boxing Day, but that was after running a big race from the front and she can make another bold bid.

Yet another placing here in a 2m4f maiden last month; 0-3 in handicaps but was going well when falling in one of them and there's a race in her off this mark; unraced beyond 2m4f but could stay.

Form & Verdict
Showed promise in Irish points in the autumn and has made the frame on both hurdling starts this year, most recently when third at Doncaster (2m, good) 17 days ago; has a bit to find on the figures but the move back up in trip ought to suit and she probably still has potential.
