Form & Verdict
Front-runner's sole win came in C&D mares' maiden last year (good); has taken a few spills over fences, including at the last when in contention at Galway early this month; back hurdling eight days later, fading tamely enough once headed two out at Punchestown; goes well here, not one to rule out.
