Bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (2m, good) when last seen in September. Break may well perk her up now and interesting what the market makes of her.

10/1

Forecasts

Sweet Sixteen (3/1), Novano (9/2), Pottlerath (11/2), Haggard Lad (13/2), Sani Pass (10/1), Coole Arcade (10/1), Darkened (10/1), Yulong Voice (14/1), Floating Around (16/1), Where's Bunny (18/1), Tuckmill (20/1), Londonofficecallin (25/1), Match My Fire (28/1), High Glory (28/1), Master Cornwall (33/1), Baltinglass Hill (40/1)

This looks decidedly trappy and it may pay to take a chance on the returning SANI PASS. A disappointment over fences when last seen in the autumn, she had previously shaped with some promise over hurdles and it would come as no surprise to see her bounce back. Where's Bunny, Pottlerath and Sweet Sixteen head up the dangers.
