Form & Verdict
Won Irish mares' maiden point (3m, yielding) on debut last April and ran okay when fifth in Carlisle bumper (2m1f, good) in October; tailed off there (2m1f, soft) the following month; should come good at some point but she's in a warm race for her hurdle debut and others are preferred.

Irish point winner last April (3m, yielding); sound hurdle debut when clear second to an odds-on shot in mares' novice over C&D last month (good; previous winner well back in third); interesting contender.

J: Alan Doyle

T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore

Favourite when winning Irish mares' maiden point (3m, yielding) on debut in April; subsequently changed hands for 48,000euros; has joined a good yard for her rules career and she could have a big say on bumper debut.

Fair third of six in a bumper here in December (2m1f, soft) but well beaten either side of that, last time on Tapeta at Newcastle; plenty to prove on hurdles debut.

Down the field on debut at Haydock (1m7f, good) last May but left that miles behind when third of six at 150-1 at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) last month; she has a useful pedigree and could continue to progress; in with a chance.
