Stayed on past weary rivals to take third in a 2m Grade 3 at Naas (soft); a likeable mare but balance of form hints at limitations on these terms; cheekpieces added.

Her three hurdle wins includes a Listed hurdle at this meeting last year; hasn't matched that form in five starts over fences yet but is capable of better and returning to this track may help.

Generally progressive over hurdles but put in her place in Listed races the last twice won by Cottesloe Sunshine, latterly at Punchestown when also behind Mozzies Sister; looks vulnerable having to concede weight all round.

3-14 over hurdles and rated 128; won a Clonmel beginners' chase on her penultimate start (15.5f, yld-sft); modest third in mares' listed hurdle at Killarney latest (2m1f, gd-yld); solid place chance on the figures but more needed to win.

Flat winner has landed three hurdle races, the latest of which came at Gowran in October in a conditions event (2m1f, soft); proved her health when winning her chasing debut at Clonmel last month; a small bit to find on ratings but by no means dismissed.

Chase debutante is rated 129 over hurdles; can race keenly at times but likes cut in the ground and her yard had a Grade 1 winner at Fairyhouse last week; lacks a recent run but is one of the more likely ones here.

Form & Verdict
Four-time hurdle winner and her second to Jetara at Limerick in October reads really well; that was over 2m7f but she's fine at this trip and latest defeat came in a Grade 2; absent since November but has very strong form claims.

Dual-purpose chasing debutante is 5-21 over timber and rated 130; modest run on the Flat at Ballinrobe last week; not an obvious candidate for chasing on breeding but she will be well-schooled and can't be discounted.

Heavy ground maiden hurdle winner at Punchestown in February before some decent efforts in competitive contests; struck again with a supremely comfortable victory at Bellewstown in August (2m1f, good); tongue-tie now added to the previously worn hood after she weakened quickly at Listowel last time; avoids penalty and leading contender if back to her best.

Twice-placed in bumpers for Harry Kelly; off the mark in a Punchestown maiden hurdle last February (2m, heavy); keen throughout at Kilbeggan in June when finishing third (2m3f, good); supremely comfortable victor at Bellewstown last time when allowed to dominate (2m1f, good); jumps left at times so this track should suit and will be dangerous if given soft lead but step back up in trip raises a question; Townend chooses Jalila Moriviere.

Twice placed in bumpers for Harry Kelly; Punchestown maiden hurdle winner on heavy in February on second start for Willie Mullins; no disgrace in Naas third in April; lesser effort at Killarney before a more satisfactory display at Kilbeggan; has tended to race too keenly; should be thereabouts if settling better.

Last five Flat runs nothing to shout about but she made it 6-19 as a hurdler when easily winning over 2m4f on good ground here last July; solid chance at the weights if back in that sort of form.

Has failed to distinguish herself since the controversy generated by her rider's unseat at the last in this race; travelled powerfully into the straight then and was well in command; out of her depth in a Listed race at Killarney last time; previously only a moderate third at Tramore, but in front of Oh So Charming and Hasten Slowly, with War Correspondent pulled up.
