Runner-up in two of her three bumpers, last time beating all bar a De Bromhead-trained favourite at Wexford (good to yielding); sets the standard.

Finished a close second over 2m2f at Down Royal on debut but might not have stayed 2m4f at Clonmel since when well below that form; has to resume progress.

Fine effort on debut in a mares' bumper at Down Royal (17.5f, yielding) four weeks ago when a 1.75l second of 13 at odds of 12-1 (backed in from 66-1, two of these behind); uncertain whether this longer trip will suit but has a chance on form.

Berkshire mare; half-sister to 2m2f hurdle winner Shudawudacuddagh; dam unplaced 2m-2m5f hurdle/chase, out of point winning half-sister to 2m5f/3m3f chase winner Chosen Dream; likely best watched on debut.
