Lightly raced mare came good on third maiden hurdle run when taking 2m1f Ballinrobe mares contest last month, possibly not suited by tight track but never stronger than at the finish; good chance she'll find more at this longer trip and respected on handicap debut with capable claiming amateur booked.

Placed in a pair of handicap hurdles in the spring, notably second over 2m5f at this venue in April; returned from a spell on the Flat to win at Tramore 10 days ago; task was eased by a rival's fall two out, even so a 6lb rise could prove lenient.
