Point-to-point winner for Mick Goff; last month's Bellewstown (2m1f, yielding) fourth was her best race yet and provides hope that she may deliver on early promise now in a lower grade.

Bumper winner but 0-14 hurdling, joining current yard after C&D claiming fourth a year ago; didn't count on recent comeback run at Punchestown, entitled to come on for that.

Represents last year's winning yard; 1-10, the win coming in 2022 at Roscommon (16.5f, good) off 10lb lower; stays this far and shaped ok at Punchestown on latest, staying on over 2m (gd-yld); could go well back up in trip.
