Won by 10l on hurdle debut at Killarney (2m1f, good) and made the running before fading into fourth (beaten about 13l) in Listed fillies' hurdle at Newbury (2m, soft) last time; now takes on males but it looked a good race last time and the first-time hood could be a plus; not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Started the season with two satisfactory displays, fifth of 11 over 1m at Bellewstown (good) and a close fourth of 16 over 7f at Gowran (soft); questions to answer after a poor 1m run at Leopardstown (good); longer trip should be fine if restored to form; would get 5lb from stablemate Nobler in a handicap.
