Form & Verdict

Won a 3m point and then second in a pointers' bumper at Tipperary last May; that form has worked out well but she's now blinkered after a lesser show at Thurles and ground this soft will be a first; likely to have a major say provided those factors don't count against her.

Point winner last season; fair form in bumpers, winning in first-time blinkers at Ayr in February (2m, soft) but beaten at a short price in a maiden hurdle race at Bangor 15 days later; made amends with a workmanlike maiden win at Market Rasen; opening mark looks reasonable.

Not beaten far in any of her three bumpers last season (good to soft/heavy) and her pedigree suggests today's step up in trip will suit; considered each-way on hurdling debut.
