J: Darragh O’Keeffe

T: Henry De Bromhead

Went up 9lb for a decisive success in quite a valuable 2m handicap chase at Cork in October; won a Downpatrick handicap hurdle after six months off in June before fading rapidly at Galway; first run off her new chase mark here and interesting to see if she is as effective back up in trip; definite chance if she is.

Had 50 days off before winning over fences in October and returning from 245 days away when narrowly following up in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (2m3f, good; 6lb lower); a likeable type who should give this a good shot.
