Terrific pedigree; has yet to be seriously tested in winning races at Sligo, Killarney and Gowran between last June and October; hard to get a firm handle on the quality of the form, though the Gowran third, her stablemate Abi's Champ, had won two bumpers during the summer and scored easily on her hurdling debut at Cork; likely to get a proper test here.
