Dual AW winner in Britain for William Knight with a rating of 68; some promise in his hurdling/stable debut, 14.5l fourth of 12 at Fairyhouse; ran keenly that day; hooded at Thurles last time when a much bigger price and ran like it; others preferred.

Dual AW winner in Britain; some promise on hurdle/stable debut when fourth at Fairyhouse, raced keenly; made little impact at Thurles and Naas but could be a different proposition on handicap hurdle debut for shrewd connections; monitor the betting.

Left moderate bumper and maiden form behind when second at Limerick (2m, soft), outpaced before keeping on well; on that evidence, this step up in trip can help; 5lb rise is perhaps harsh, but she's a player.
