Yet to match her Wexford bumper win in two runs over hurdles, but likely to be in the mix.

Placed in bumpers and confirmed that promise on recent hurdle debut; longer trip may suit.

Irish point winner who looks the type to make an impact over hurdles; one to consider.

5	Sea Of Fortune Brown J:Harry Bannister T:Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls	J:Harry Bannister T:Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls	160	t	0U	-	-	-	13d	—	—	-1	0.4	25.00/1	100/1 1%

Mildly progressive so far over hurdles, but this longer trip could unlock improvement.
