Form & Verdict
Promising run in first-time tongue-tie when third in Naas maiden in November and good efforts since in 2m handicaps, clear second at Naas and outpaced from last by a ready winner in Navan mares' contest last month; steps up markedly in trip here and looks the one to beat if staying.

Hurdles win came in a Tramore maiden in August (2m6f, yielding); form tanked after that over fences and hurdles; distant third at Naas when last seen in February (2m, soft to heavy); others of more interest.
