Ex-Irish; bought for £70,000 after landing a Wexford bumper in October; improved upon her hurdles/stable debut when a respectable third in a 2m mares' contest here in February, shaping as though this step back up in trip would suit; likely to be involved.

Form & Verdict
Promising fourth in a Doncaster (2m, good) bumper on debut in March last year; however, he failed to build on that at Southwell (2m, soft) on his return in November, failing to settle and ultimately well held; steps up in trip for this switch to hurdles after another break, with hood added.

Best effort when third in 2m6f Stratford novice in May; came in a well-held fifth in similar company at Southwell (2m4f) 22 days ago but he may still do better now going into handicaps.
