Won three times at up to 1m4f at a modest level last year; her middle effort in maidens reads well with a view to this initial mark and she's considered.

Last three Flat runs resulted in wins at Tramore, Limerick and back at Tramore, all at around 1m4f on good and good to yielding ground; no show in maiden hurdles in the autumn; could resume progress back on the Flat; won first time out last season.

Progressed from low base to complete hat-trick of handicap wins on the Flat over the summer, at Tramore (twice) and Limerick on decent ground; half-sister to a couple of winning hurdlers so could well take to this discipline although may not want too much rain.

Runner-up in maiden hurdles at Clonmel in May and Punchestown last month; failed to match that form at Wexford last Friday; interesting that he makes a quick reappearance with Colin Keane booked; turf Flat form is modest but not without a chance if reproducing last winter's best AW form.

Modest on the Flat but has shown an aptitude for hurdling; runner up in both completed starts at Clonmel (19.5f, gd-yld) in May and Punchestown (23.5f, gd-yld) 26 days ago; in between those runs unseated early at Kilbeggan; big player.

0-18 on Flat but promising introduction to hurdling at Clonmel when staying on well to take the runner-up spot despite suffering interference (2m4f, good to yielding) and the winner easily followed up next time; unseated at the second when saddle slipped at Kilbeggan; worth another chance, although trip is an unknown.

Low-grade maiden has posted solid runs in three starts this year, most recently chasing home a 10l winner over this trip at Tramore eight days ago (third has won since, Vervain fourth); should be in the mix and good draw.

Promising fourth on his stable debut/seasonal return at Dundalk over 1m4f; met some trouble in running when sixth at Fairyhouse; fair chance of turning the tables on Chopsticks (fourth) and of upholding form with Magna Gee Gee (sixth).
