Irish point winner who came good under rules at third attempt, making all to win readily by over 9l at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) last month; already sets a fairly useful form standard here and has scope to improve again.

0-4 in bumpers but was Listed placed and only real blip came in a Grade 2; well beaten in a Listed hurdle last time (tongue tied after wind surgery) but that was a tough task and she had run well on hurdling debut at Sedgefield.

Listed form in bumpers and over hurdles; didn't have to improve to win at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft; odds-on) and came up short under a penalty at Ayr (first-time cheekpieces); should give her running and entitled to be involved.

Has Listed form in bumpers and over hurdles; probably didn't show improvement in justifying favouritism in weak maiden at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) last time but may build on that win; respected, assuming she takes to first-time headgear.

Had a lot of racing on the Flat (5-57) and stuck on a long losing run; stays well but he plies his trade at an ordinary level and isn't overly appealing now sent over hurdles.
