T: Gordon Elliott

Likes a sound surface and was prolific over hurdles (rated 129) last year, winning five times at up to 2m4f, including a fast-ground victory in America; was running a good race when coming down on chasing debut; benefitted from fall of odds-on favourite when winning over 2m at Tramore, not having much to spare over 112-rated rival.

One of her five hurdle wins came here over 2m4f last year; ended her campaign with a win in a valuable mares' hurdle at Far Hills in USA and is rated 129 in that sphere; has won when fresh and is a big player if ready after the break.

Four-time winner over hurdles is yet to score from 12 runs over fences; recent form is concerning, tailed off in a Down Royal handicap chase earlier this month and sixth of eight over hurdles at Kilbeggan latest.

Form & Verdict
Won a Wexford maiden over this trip on debut and was just denied over 3m in a Kilbeggan novice since; likely to be still improving and cheekpieces are added dropped back in trip; Jack Kennedy rides but probably not much between her and stablemate Emily Love.

Off the mark on debut at Wexford and better form in defeat since with a neck defeat in three-runner novice at Kilbeggan before a fall when still involved at Killarney; 2m1f too short at Bellewstown last time and one to be interested in stepping back up to this sort of distance; unexposed.

One of two for yard; bumper and hurdles winner on yielding and soft to heavy; much improved on second chase start when going close in a beginners' at Tramore (15.5f, gd-yld) in late May; this longer trip worth a go on the evidence of that run; chance.
