Half-brother to 2m2f/2m4f hurdle winner She's Commanche justified favouritism in fine style on debut in Galway maiden in late October, jumping well and readily drawing away run-in; form is ordinary but manner of his victory was impressive and 4yo has plenty of scope so looks an exciting prospect.

Experienced maiden has posted several solid efforts in handicaps, notably close second when last-flight faller at Sligo and staying-on third over 2m at Listowel; reportedly hung left at latter venue five days later when not as effective over 2m4f on softer ground; back in maiden company with definite chance in what looks a weak contest.
