Both wins have been at Tramore, a bumper and 2m5f maiden for mares; found Graded company too hot to handle before running well for a long way in a big-field 3m handicap at Leopardstown's big meeting this month (heavy); kept to this trip, she could appreciate these less taxing conditions.

Consistent performer in bumpers finally got her reward at Wexford latest when scoring by 0.5l; tries hurdling now and has a pedigree to suggest she should take to it; one of the likelier ones but carries a penalty.

Some decent form in bumpers last year without winning; failed to justify 5-4 favouritism when a 5l second at Downpatrick on hurdles debut in August (2m2f, good); repaid the faithful at Killarney earlier this month when a comfortable winner (2m1f, yielding); makes handicap debut now and is a leading contender.

Some promise in two maiden hurdle starts before successive runner-up finishes in good quality mares' bumpers last winter (2.5l behind decent Carrigmoornaspruce in one); below her best in Roscommon bumper latest; back over hurdles now and good chance if back to form (yard going well).
