Form & Verdict
Killarney maiden hurdle winner last early last season; returned to form on both recent chase attempts in mares' beginners' contests when second at Wexford (2m) and Tramore (2m6f) on good ground, tongue-tied second occasion; big player with that experience under her belt although good bit inferior to Mozzies Sister over hurdles.

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.

Gained a first chase win at Ballinrobe on her penultimate run but didn't jump well when tailed off since and probably needs further than this.

J: Danny Gilligan

1-11 over hurdles and rated 116, so not in the same league as the principals here; has made a bright start over fences but this is way tougher than winning a mares' race at Ballinrobe over much further.

Form & Verdict
Has won a point-to-point, two bumpers and a maiden hurdle on varying ground; highly tried since that maiden win, placed several times in Graded company at up to 2m6f; outpaced by sole rival in 2m2f Cork conditions event on returning from a break last month which should have set her up nicely for this chase debut (yard had an impressive chase debut winner at Galway on Monday).

Top-rated at 132; 1-7 over hurdles; highly tried after Galway maiden win last October; failed to win but ran well in defeat in listed, grade 2 and grade 1 company at 2m4f-2m7f; below par on chase debut at Ballinrobe on latest but she's the one to beat on return to this sphere.
