Runner-up in two bumpers before racing too freely and not getting home in the latest at Clonmel (2m4f, yielding); no surprise to see a hood turned to and major player if giving herself a chance.

Solid fifth on debut in valuable Fairyhouse bumper a year ago; runner up on seasonal return at Punchestown (18.5f, yielding); turned over at short odds at Gowran latest (2m1f, heavy); step up in trip and better ground will suit here; worth giving one more chance to.

Gradually finding her feet again after an eight-month break; hurdles debut after good efforts in bumpers at Limerick and Punchestown; ground will suit and a good alternative to the likely favourite.
