OR: 68

Form & Verdict
Did well under both codes last year, winning 1m3f claimer at Limerick and second in 1m5f handicap at Leopardstown before winning twice over hurdles; been off since October; ground will suit but trip might be too sharp.

Last win came at Tramore in August but has lost form and struggling in claimers lately; cheekpieces.

Two of her three wins over hurdles have come at Tramore; a long way below her best in a similar race to this at that course in April; hard to fancy following remote seventh behind Rich Belief at Wexford.

Two of her three wins over hurdles have come at Tramore; however, she was a long way below her best in a similar race to this at that course last month; that run was prefaced by weak form at Dundalk during the winter.
