Form & Verdict
Notched a second hurdles win at Tramore last time with a well-judged front-running ride from today's rider in first-time blinkers, winning easily by 13l; that success came against the tide of moderate form since her last win in 2024; likelihood is that she finds it hard to repeat the trick.

Rated 105 over hurdles but performed above that level when winning on chase debut at Wexford, jumping well; however, this is much tougher and a place looks the best she can do.
