Fairly useful hurdler. Faced a stiff task last time but won 3 of her 5 starts previously and must enter calculations here.

Timeform
Won bumper on NH debut in impressive fashion and shaped well when fourth of 22 in novice at Navan (16f, heavy, 7/2) on hurdles bow 34 days ago. Yard in good form. Should have more to offer.

Forecasts

Korinthia (6/5), Salsinha (5/2), Amen Kate (4/1), Samba Train (13/2), Queenofthelodge (12/1), Brosna Queen (16/1), Eye Of A Tiger (66/1), Hey Babbs (150/1), Evelyn (200/1), Crohan Lady (200/1)

Verdict

KORINTHIA improved on her winning hurdles debut form when third in a stronger event at Down Royal in October and remains with potential. She can land the spoils. Queenofthelodge and Salsinha are feared most.
