J: Phillip Enright

Fair placed form in points last season, though not progressive; hinted at winning potential with a staying-on sixth behind today's rival Sallap at Limerick early last month; came good in emphatic style when running out an 8l winner from Smackwater Jack (second reserve) at Ballinrobe two weeks ago; raised 11lb, may remain competitive.

Downpatrick maiden hurdle winner a year ago (2m2f, good); best run since an 8.25l fourth of 10 at Downpatrick on latest, weakening late on over 2m6f; drops in trip now, has been eased 1lb and stable going well; shortlisted.

Might have won on her handicap debut at Cork but for some interference (2m4f, good); unable to get competitive back to 2m at Galway, so return to longer trip a positive and don't rule out.

Won a Limerick maiden hurdle in October (2m3f, good to yielding); best runs since have come at Ballinrobe when a 2.25l second of 15 in July (2m6f, good) and a 2l third (3m2f, good) three weeks ago; she's consistent but needs to bring that to chasing now.
