10st 12lb

J: Sam Ewing

T: Peter Fahey

Placed on the Flat for Jessica Harrington early in her career; belatedly opened her account when landing a maiden at Killarney ten days ago; had finished second in eight of her previous 11 attempts; has contested only two handicaps, something amiss at Galway when she was pulled up in a race in which Cleopatra's Needle was fourth.

J: Sam Ewing

T: Peter Fahey

Placed on the Flat for Jessica Harrington early in her career; consistent but highly frustrating over hurdles, second in eight of her 11 attempts, including in four of five since May; towards the rear in a 1m6f handicap at Listowel; would not be a surprise winner but her profile makes it hard to be confident.

Beaten favourite but not a bad run in first bumper at Galway last October, beaten 9l in fifth; not as good next time at Tramore; unfancied when a moderate sixth on hurdles debut at Roscommon; still looked raw when second at this venue last month; capable of picking up a modest race.
