Second reserve, inconsistent mare but has shown some promise from time to time

Backed up a long-priced fifth at Cork with respectable fourth at Tipperary, could go close

Showed fair form towards the end of the season before last, recent form is unconvincing

Pulled-up on last two outings, better going and cheekpieces will need to make a difference
R17	Papa Barns Bay J:TBC T:J T R Dreaper	J: T:J T R Dreaper	157	—	U0000-	84	82	42	62d	—	—	+5	9.7	6.00/1	25 4%

Best effort last season was over fences, two most recent chase runs none too encouraging
