Promise when fourth on first 2 starts over hurdles but shaped as if amiss when well held in maiden (1/2) at Naas (19f, soft) back in December, folding tamely. Worth another chance.

Standout effort came when fourth at Listowel last June. 40/1, too free after 5 months off when pulled up on handicap debut at Cork (16f, heavy) 4 months ago, folding. Hood back on.

14/1, well held in handicap chase at Navan (23.4f, heavy) 4 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Significantly back down in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time and not discounted judged on his penultimate effort when finishing a staying-on fourth over hurdles.

Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 40/1, sixth of 22 in maiden hurdle at Cork (16f, heavy) 81 days ago, late headway. May do better still.

Better for run after 12 weeks off when sixth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, soft, 11/1) 24 days ago. Remains capable of better so she's shortlist material back in maiden company.

Tailed off in 3 maiden hurdles so can only be watched.

Forecasts

Midweek Voices (3/1), Brennus Lescribaa (10/3), Malton Groove (7/2), Magic Olinger (9/2), The Dawn (6/1), Champagne Saloon (10/1), Lispopple (33/1), Realtin Lonrach (66/1)

Verdict

A weak maiden that can go the way of BRENNUS LESCRIBAA, who shaped as if amiss when last seen at Naas before Christmas but is worth another chance for his top trainer Gordon Elliott. Magic Olinger should come on from his recent Leopardstown outing so he's put forward as the main danger returned to maiden company, with Malton Groove third on the shortlist back over timber.
