Flat maiden has taken well to hurdles, winning a Fairyhouse maiden on debut and running some fine races in defeat since; has to find more to win but should be in the mix.

No great shakes in failing to win on the Flat but has won a maiden over hurdles and performed well in the face of some stiff tasks; however, this is another, and she's held by Majolique on Naas form.

Flat maiden (rated 70) got off the mark over timber at Fairyhouse in November (soft-to-heavy) and highly tried since, notably getting up for second behind clear winner Narciso Has in Grade 2 at Leopardstown; never really recovered from blunder three out in valuable mares' handicap at same venue early this month; place claims on ground she handles.
