Form & Verdict
Bought for 185,000euros out of top French Flat yard for which she signed off with wins at 1m3f and 2m (good/AW); looked in need of the run when seventh of 19 at Leopardstown on hurdle/yard debut at Christmas, will need to improve considerably to play a major role here.

Bought for E185,000 after French Flat wins over 1m3f and 2m on decent ground; highly-tried juvenile hurdler last season, notably chasing home a clear winner in poorly-contested Naas Listed (heavy) and when beaten 13l in Grade 2 at Fairyhouse; last month's spin on the Flat should have brought her on fitness-wise and obvious appeal given this drop in class.

Bought for 185,000Euros out of top French Flat yard for whom she won at 1m3f and 2m; best run in three hurdle starts for this yard when second in Listed juvenile at Naas in February; market can guide returning to the Flat after a break.

Bought for 185,000euros out of top French Flat yard for whom she won at 1m3f and 2m; well held in a Leopardstown maiden over Christmas but much better when second to Majolique at Naas and looks capable of holding her own at this level.

Form & Verdict
Flat maiden (rated 70) got off the mark over timber at Fairyhouse in November (soft-to-heavy) and highly tried since, notably getting up for second behind clear winner Narciso Has in Grade 2 at Leopardstown; never really recovered from blunder three out in valuable mares' handicap at same venue early this month; place claims on ground she handles.

Developed into a very capable juvenile hurdler last season, Grade 2 runner-up and two wins, including a Listed success at the Punchestown festival, beating older rivals; warmed up for this with a run on the Flat last week; never in the hunt, could be a different proposition now.

Developed into a very capable juvenile hurdler last season, Grade 2 runner-up and two wins, including a Listed success at the Punchestown festival, beating older rivals; interesting off this mark, if she can translate her improvement to the Flat; finished sixth in this race 12 months ago.

Flat maiden has taken well to hurdles, winning a Fairyhouse maiden on debut and running some fine races in defeat since; has to find more to win but should be in the mix.

Form & Verdict
Placed only once from 12 starts on the Flat (rated 69), regressive after finishing second in a Leopardstown 2yo maiden; satisfactory hurdles debut at Fairyhouse in December but soundly beaten since at Punchestown; hard to fancy at this level.
