Versatile mare who landed a C&D maiden a year ago; good form this year, ran a cracker when second to Deressa off 4lb lower at Ballinrobe in June; Galway Hurdle run can be ignored and holds each-way chance.

Form & Verdict
Galileo colt went close in a Limerick maiden (12.5f, good) on sole start last year; far from disgraced when 3.25l behind top stayer Kyprios in a 1m6f Leopardstown Group 3 on his seasonal return in May; rated 97 and the one to beat, though soft ground would be a worry.
