Fair debut when fifth at Cork in November; two subsequent runs at the same track have dented confidence significantly.

Some promise when fifth in Cork maiden on debut; regressed in three subsequent outings; however, could be lurking off a dangerous mark on handicap debut; Darragh O'Keeffe is an eyecatching booking.

Rates an unlikely winner on the evidence of her three maiden hurdle efforts at Cork at 2m-2m1f; look elsewhere.

Form & Verdict
Placed in four of her six hurdle starts,; took a step in the right direction when second in a 2m1f maiden at Clonmel earlier this month; that brought a 7lb promotion to 108, which would seem to make her superior to the majority of these rivals; comes out on top on RPR figures

Had plenty of chances before finally coming good in a maiden at Gowran (heavy); that was a weak race for which she went off at odds of 2-9; front-runner who can be keen and making all in this field won't be easy.

Placed on five of seven attempts hurdling, second to a favourite in 2m1f maiden at Clonmel in January (heavy), and traded very short in running when reeled in late by Gordon Elliott's Dunsy Rock at Fairyhouse four weeks ago; front-runner will prove difficult to peg back.

Verdict

With Gavin Cromwell’s string back in form, this is a suitable opportunity for SAVEFORARAINYDAY to take advantage of a drop in grade. The 108-rated Likealightswitch is an obvious danger following an improved display at Clonmel. Jennyfromtheblock deserves respect on point-to-point form. Louie’s Folly shaped well at Punchestown.
