Form & Verdict

Three-time hurdles winner (including here) is 1-4 over fences; that win came at Wexford (2m, good) off 7lb lower last August; out of depth in Listed hurdle latest but this more suitable and she goes well here; not out of this.

Recorded a third hurdles win off a career low mark at Thurles in October (2m4f, good to yielding), beating Tir Og by a neck; decent enough sixth on Flat at Gowran back from a break last month, considering she stumbled at the start; she will have easier opportunities than this.

Lowest rated of the bunch; sole win came in a Downpatrick mares' maiden hurdle last year (2m1f, soft); has been chasing in recent times with little success; back over hurdles at Bellewstown late last month when beaten 17l by Adela Icon; hard to see her turning that around.

Point winner has been running consistently over fences this season, runner-up in two mares' beginners' before a comfortable win at Ballinrobe in September (2m7f, soft); outclassed in Graded company, but in between those efforts she ran respectably in a four-runner contest around here in October when third; makes handicap chase debut now.
