J: James Davies

T: Tim Vaughan

Progressive 1m6f Flat winner in Ireland last summer for John Joseph Murphy; is going very much the right way in this sphere too for her new yard, comfortably making it 2-3 over hurdles in 2m juvenile at Newbury in December; this demands plenty more but she shouldn't be underestimated after a break.

Form & Verdict
Minor maiden promise; only sixth of seven on handicap debut at Dundalk (1m2f) but did go off at only 4-1 and wasn't seen to best effect from off the pace (finished one position behind Sottsands); remains of interest and blinkers are now tried.

Sixth of 18 at Punchestown in May (2m, good to yielding) represents her best form; in a top stable and still early days; improvement is not out of the question.

Sixth of 18 over hurdles at Punchestown in May (2m, good to yielding) was her best hurdles run, but she didn't build on that at Limerick last time when tailed off (2m4f, soft); probably best on a sound surface.

Completed a rapid hat-trick in handicap hurdles in May and got off the mark over fences at the third attempt at Uttoxeter (2m, good) recently; 10lb higher against much tougher opposition this afternoon but he made all in fine style last time and this 4yo could continue his rise up the ranks.

79-rated gelding won twice in June at Cork and Leopardstown, both over 1m on nice ground; midfield on soft to heavy at the Curragh latest (1m) and has hinted that this sort of trip might suit, though he's not bred for it.
