Won good-ground bumper on last summer's debut; good level of form in four starts over hurdles; third in Listed contest at Thurles before Christmas; fourth when odds-on at Fairyhouse in April; little wrong with her second to 122-rated foe at Punchestown; tongue-tie added.
Comment

Stable Tour
"She's a nice filly and looked very impressive when winning her bumper over the summer at Cork. We're looking forward to going hurdling with her in the next few weeks. 11-11-25"
Quotes
"It was a nice performance. Henry and all the lads at home liked her and we were hopeful of a good run today. Salsinha is French bred and has loads of pace. She quickened up nicely on that ground - John Gleeson, jockey."

Did well to beat the geldings on debut in last year's Goffs Defender Bumper at Punchestown; has contested black-type bumpers since, well beaten three times but second in Listed contest at Fairyhouse two runs back; closely related to 2m3f hurdle winner and Townend's choice over the more experienced Poetisa.
Comment
Smart if inconsistent bumper performer and Townend's choice over stablemate Poetisa
Stable Tour
"You'd have to be impressed with the speed she showed to win the Goffs Defender Bumper at Punchestown. She obviously has a real smart turn of foot. She'll go down the mares' novice hurdle route. 17-11-25"

Cost plenty after winning a good-ground bumper at Cheltenham last April; turned over at 4-7 on stable/hurdling debut in January; reversed form with the winner when second to highly talented Zanoosh in Listed contest at Navan (2m4f, heavy); returned to bumpers then, second to useful mare at Naas, beaten a long way against geldings last time.
Comment
Second to highly talented Zanoosh in Listed contest at Navan (2m4f, heavy) in February
Stable Tour
"She looked very good when winning a mares' bumper for her previous trainer at Cheltenham in April. I'd imagine she'll be going novice hurdling. 17-11-25"

Quotes
"The Fog Horn likes it here and likes a bit of better ground. It was a little bit too soft for her the last day and James gave her a great ride out in front today from a good draw. We'll see what the handicapper does, he gave her 12lb the last time she won which was plenty so we claimed off her today which made a difference - Seamus O'Donnell, trainer."
