Wiiner in hurdle at Cork in March. 9/2, another creditable effort when third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (20f, good to soft) 57 days ago. Should be in the mix again.

Forecasts

Cousin Kate (9/4), Carried With Love (11/2), Westernersunrise (6/1), Miss Mini Bee (7/1), Katie Daniels (9/1), Catchabird (10/1), Phils Choice (10/1), Milanaway (12/1), Magic Boum (14/1), Ms Agartha Yeats (20/1), Arctic Piper (28/1), Cathryns Ruby (33/1)

A competitive affair, with preference going to COUSIN KATE, who has remained in good form since winning at Tramore in October. Top-weight Carried With Love has been giving her running in similar events and should find one of these landing her way before long, whilst handicap newcomer Katie Daniels is unexposed and starts out in handicaps from a workable-looking mark.
