Form & Verdict

Placed in minor events over C&D and at Southwell on her last two starts; no obvious reason why she wouldn't be in the thick of it again.

Form & Verdict

Prominent in the betting when finishing in midfield in a 7f maiden at Leopardstown last August; duly stepped forward when winning a 14-runner conditions event at Cork (6f, yielding to soft) one month later, strong at the finish; that form looks rock solid and the Topspeed figure was good; 1m is a slight query but he has been found an ordinary novice in which to try and defy a penalty.
