Modest hurdler who has plenty to prove after an inauspicious start over fences when last seen in August.

Uptaurintop (G)
[T]
Ran well when 1¾ lengths third on final start over hurdles last season at Limerick (2m, heavy) in April but was soon done with sent chasing at Limerick 11 days ago. Drop back in trip should at least suit.

Maiden hurdler for Paul Gilligan. Proved a different model for new yard after 7 months off when readily landing 19-runner handicap hurdle at Punchestown and translated her improvement to chasing right away when close third in maiden at Dow…
