Added fourth Flat win in a Dundalk claimer in March; creditable efforts in three starts over hurdles; distant runner-up at Tramore last time (2m, soft); not totally discounted.

Four Flat wins, the latest in a Dundalk AW claimer last month; two previous runs over hurdles were at Leopardstown, encouraging fourth in 2m maiden but well out of depth in Grade 1 novice at the DRF; drops in grade here, has to enter calculations.

Won on good and the AW when trained in Britain; added a third career success a month ago at Dundalk where she went off pretty quick in the new blinkers and just held on (80-1); whether this will pan out so favourably is questionable.
