Both wins have been at Tramore, a bumper and 2m5f maiden for mares; found Graded company too hot to handle before running well for a long way in a big-field 3m handicap at Leopardstown's big meeting this month (heavy); kept to this trip, she could appreciate these less taxing conditions.

Both wins have been at Tramore, including 2m5f mares maiden hurdle in November; struggled a bit in Graded novices since, at Cork and when nearly 14l off County Final at Limerick over Christmas; 2lb wrong here on handicap debut.

Tramore bumper winner got off the mark over hurdles at the second attempt back there in November (2m5f, soft); didn't quite see out the 24.5f trip in a Cork Grade 3 (soft to heavy) last time under a positive ride after some untidy jumps late on; can do better but a bit to find all the same.

One of two for trainer; Tramore bumper winner ran well here over 2m4f following that when third in a maiden hurdle (2m4f, yielding); appeared to relish softer conditions when comfortably winning a mares' maiden contest at Tramore latest (2m5f, soft); Good Girl Kathleen looks like the stable first-string.

Bumper winner at this venue (2m, yielding) ran a nice race on her hurdling debut in a mares' maiden at Cork (2m4f, yielding); should go well again, though testing ground is an unknown.
