Off the mark at the fifth attempt on the Flat when winning heavy-ground 1m5f Gowran handicap when last seen back in April, despite racing keenly up with the pace (second won next time); lightly raced 5yo runs well fresh but must overcome 6lb rise; player.

Three-time hurdles winner (including here) is 1-4 over fences; that win came at Wexford (2m, good) off 7lb lower last August; out of depth in Listed hurdle latest but this more suitable and she goes well here; not out of this.
