Not disgraced in first two handicaps on testing ground, over 2m at Limerick in December and 19.5f at Punchestown in January; could go well if acting on better ground; check the market.

Second reserve; shaped with promise in maidens over shorter (including here when a staying on fifth over 17.5f); pulled up when upped to this trip at Down Royal in March; capable of better and could go well for local yard if getting a run.

Her fourth of five in a Downpatrick maiden hurdle last May is her standout piece of form, since when she's been tailed off and pulled up (sharply) in good-ground handicaps; goes chasing with much to prove.

Two best efforts over hurdles came off the back of a break at Sligo, eyecatcher there on latest when weaving through traffic to finish third of 16 (2m4f, good); runner-up to Cheltenham Festival winner Sine Nomine on sole point outing so should take to fences.

Decent effort on handicap and stable debut at Galway (22.5f, gd-yld) last September but didn't replicate it in two subsequent starts; goes without usual hood here and lacks a recent run; others preferred.
