Last three Flat runs resulted in wins at Tramore, Limerick and back at Tramore, all at around 1m4f on good and good to yielding ground; no show in maiden hurdles in the autumn; could resume progress back on the Flat; won first time out last season.

Progressed from low base to complete hat-trick of handicap wins on the Flat over the summer, at Tramore (twice) and Limerick on decent ground; half-sister to a couple of winning hurdlers so could well take to this discipline although may not want too much rain.
