Seventh in 2024's Fred Winter and encouraging start to her chase career last season including a Grade 2 success at Thurles; has failed to complete having made errors twice since including early unseat at Limerick on Monday; will be a big player despite conceding weight if she sorts her jumping out.

Took to chasing well as a 4yo and the won a five-runner mares' Grade 2 novice event over 2m5f at Thurles in January; failed to do herself justice in a Punchestown festival handicap won by Sea Music; youth on her side, capable of paying her way this term.

The most experienced mare in the field and rated 123 over fences; has often been highly tried to no avail, including when tailed off in Punchestown mares' Grade 2 latest; sights are lowered now and seems to handle most ground; chance.

Form & Verdict
Second runner for yard; maiden hurdle winner fell on chasing debut when holding every chance in the summer; made up for that by winning a Sligo (2m1f) beginners' and Fairyhouse (2m5f) novice since; Townend prefers Spindleberry but there probably isn't much between them.

It's likely that soft ground was against her in a Listed chase last time when behind A Penny A Hundred whom she beat in a Fairyhouse novice in January (2m5f, good to yielding) before running third in a Grade 2; this mark is no gift but still enters the reckoning.

Displayed credentials for a race of this nature when a 12l third of 15 in the Mayo National at Ballinrobe last year off 132; ordinary form on last three starts last autumn and off the track since but now 3lb lower than she was at Ballinrobe and she needs checking in the market on return for top yard.
