Form & Verdict
Won a Bellewstown maiden hurdle in April 2024 (20.5f, gd-yld); best effort since a 6l second of 15 at Navan (2m4f, yld-sft) in December and that form has had a few boosts; has had a couple of sharpeners on the Flat and she could go well back over timber.

Dual-purpose mare has won eight races across both codes; made a pleasing enough start for this yard when third of six at Ballinrobe on first run for over six months; should come on for that but she remains 6lb above her last win and she won't want it too soft.
