Form & Verdict
Two-time heavy ground winner in France; well held on stable debut at Limerick but made all to win a three-runner mares' hurdle back there next time (2m, soft); fair fourth in Punchestown festival handicap over extended 2m4f (yielding); not so fluent jumping in Galway Hurdle when weakened into sixth (2m, good); the choice of Townend and the ground to suit.

Sole win was in a mares' chase at Sligo last October; good runs in defeat in two handicaps at Punchestown; didn't quite get up the hill in the Galway Blazers but this trip and track is likely to suit well; contender.

1-6 over fences, the win coming in a mares' chase at Sligo last October; good runs in defeat the last twice in handicaps at Punchestown, beaten just 1.25l there on latest (2m4f, gd-yld) off 4lb lower; should go well, but has to definitively prove she stays this far.

OR: 127

Form & Verdict
Thurles maiden hurdle winner last November (2m7f, good) and some decent performances following that, particularly when second in a Fairyhouse Grade 3 (2m2f, soft); couldn't recover from a bad blunder at Killarney back over hurdles last month but chased home hot favourite back on level at Galway when last seen; not ruled out.

A 132-rated hurdler has run well in defeat on the Flat several times including when third over 1m4f here on return last month; however, was poor over hurdles at Galway since and has to rebound; the hood worn then is left off.

Last win came in a Listed hurdle in November at Kempton over 2m5f; some good runs after but was below form at Cheltenham; a decent Flat run last time at Tramore; considered.

7 yo Mare

OR: 126

Form & Verdict
Out of sight point winner and quickly reeled off wins in a Wexford bumper and a Limerick maiden hurdle (2m3f, good to yielding); lost unbeaten record when second to a decent type at Wexford in May after almost a year off (2m1f, good); well-backed for Galway mares' hurdle but folded tamely; that run leaves question marks and will need to improve to win this all the same.

Point, bumper (here) and dual hurdle winner began her chasing career with a solid second at Cork last November; has been disappointing twice since including a poor effort back here last time; questions now.

Point winner and best of these over hurdles; ran creditably against some of last season's leading novice mares in two chase spins in midwinter; off since finishing down the field in the Martin Pipe, but goes well fresh and at her local track.

Form & Verdict
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.

Odds-on for mares' maiden hurdle win at Sligo last summer; made the frame in mares' events at Listowel and Kilbeggan this summer; none too fluent and faded tamely on chase debut at Wexford last month; two moderate chase runs since then; question to answer.

Form & Verdict
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.

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; 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.
