Form & Verdict
Of little account on the Flat; much more promising hurdles debut, despite taking keen hold and slipped saddle, pulling herself into lead halfway until outpaced before last in finishing third behind two market principals at Thurles eight days ago (good-to-yielding); if settling better could well play a major role.

Winning hurdler returned to Flat recently to justify strong market support when hooded first-time in 2m Down Royal handicap under today's rider, beating Sunday's Navan winner Jurality with some authority; hit with 12lb rise but could well play a role.

Better hurdler, winning Sligo maiden (2m2f, good to yielding) in October, just okay run in handicap at Punchestown festival on latest; precious little of note on the Flat last year, tried hooded now on return and may improve.
