A record of 1-19 over hurdles; best recent run was when fourth to Oh So Charming in a 2m2f Sligo claiming hurdle last time; ran well over 3m here last year and has to return to that form.

Did well in handicaps last summer, winning over 2m6f and placed three times; had a couple of spins over fences in early summer; going okay when departing four out in 3m claimer at Roscommon, poor run since; no weight and big chance on paper, but would prefer farther.

0-21 but some reasons for hope in her runs this season; was a 2l second at Tramore in May (2m, good) and okay efforts at Cork (2m2f, good) when fifth of 23 and when third of ten over C&D last time (good); more needed to win but definite place possibilities.

Things picked up when second at Tramore (2m, good) and even though she ran poorly at Sligo next time, her recent outing at Cork also held promise when fifth of 23 (2m2f, good); may get involved.
