Form & Verdict
Dual-purpose sort with some smart Flat form; back-to-back winner in this discipline last summer but nothing since and has run disappointingly in valuable summer handicap hurdles, including when tailed off in the Lartigue at Listowel last time; okay run on the Flat at Clonmel prior when too keen; player on her best day.

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
Winner of sole point who got off the mark immediately at Tramore in November; comfortably won a Punchestown novice event in January (2m3f, heavy); couldn't live with Supreme runner-up William Munny in February back at that track and question marks now following tame finishes at Limerick and Cheltenham in April when last seen; soft ground to suit.

Won on her second chase start in a mares' beginners' at Naas (2m4f, soft); highly tried to no avail twice since, in a Grade 3 novice back at Naas and a listed mares' chase at Thurles; can't be discounted back in these calmer waters, especially if it rains.

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.

Encouraging second in bumper on debut at Worcester in June before disappointing favourite at Stratford; two okay runs over hurdles after and shaped well at Thurles 161 days ago, beaten 7l into fourth by Run for Mahler; chance on that form but might need better ground.

Debut point winner; took second in a Worcester bumper on rules debut (despite losing a shoe); disappointing odds-on favourite at Stratford following that; stepped up in trip when a well beaten third on hurdling debut and 28l behind in a Gowran conditions hurdle last time (2m, soft); this is easier.
