Bumper winner last autumn got off the mark over hurdles in a Fairyhouse maiden last time on fourth start in this sphere; the cheekpieces worn then are retained but she has to do more in this grade.

Debut bumper winner at Galway last October; placed in all three maiden hurdles, including twice at this track (2m-2m2f); down in trip again after finishing second to a Gordon Elliott-trained odds-on chance over 2m5f at Leopardstown; cheekpieces and tongue-tie fitted now; capable of getting in the mix.

Fine efforts in bumpers at Tipperary and Galway (both 2m, gd-yld) in first two starts; the form of that second run has worked out and heavy ground a possible excuse for poor run in a Listed bumper at Navan in November (also ran too freely); off since; leading form claims if fit; tongue tie on.
