Wexford bumper winner last summer and easily pick of three attempts hurdling when second to an odds-on shot in 2m Listowel mares maiden last month (yielding); later in month just okay effort in Leopardstown amateur flat maiden on fast ground; probably prefers easier ground and could struggle to confirm Listowel form with Tumbling In on these terms.
