Inconsistent at big prices in four Irish hurdling starts but her fourth of 12 at Fairyhouse (2m4f, soft) in January sets the standard; secured for £22,000 a fortnight later; also ran creditably on better ground in November and she's much respected on this stable debut.

Some placed form in maiden hurdles on heavy ground before making immediate impact on handicap debut at Leopardstown (2m3f, soft to heavy) off 108; creditable second on chasing debut at Downpatrick last time (2m4f, yielding to soft); new headgear goes on and she's a player, although has never encountered this better ground.
