0-9 over timber but has run well in defeat, handles heavy ground, leading form claims

Placed in first maiden hurdle, heavy ground may not have suited latest, can't discount

Placed in bumpers in 2023, may have needed her comeback, not discounted; hooded

80 rated on the Flat, well behind Come On The Lads on hurdles debut, may need more time

Jumping lacked fluency on debut, yard in better form now, worth a market check

Two-time flat winner at modest level, likes testing ground, stamina a query, check market

0-3 on the Flat, promise on hurdles debut at Thurles, place claims if building on that

Potential on debut in Naas bumper, well beaten on hurdles bow, others appeal more
