Form & Verdict
Progressive mare won a 2m3f Punchestown maiden hurdle (heavy) in December and followed up in a C&D handicap (sft-hvy) off 120 three weeks ago; that's the best form on offer and she's top rated here at 127; holds an Albert Bartlett entry and the one to beat.

Rapidly improving mare is seeking a six-timer, notable wins being 2m7f Grade 3 Limerick mares' novice and early this month in 2m4f Fairyhouse Grade 1 mares' novice, leading last; all wins have been on soft/heavy but gives the impression she'll handle this better ground and could have more to offer at this longer trip.

Rapidly improving mare is seeking a five-timer following four heavy-ground wins, most recently outstaying How's Hannah over 2m7f in Grade 3 Shannon Spray Novices' at Limerick last month; equally effective at 2m4f and 3lb better off with that rival here; major chance.

Progressive mare seeking a four-timer following three heavy-ground wins at 2m3f/2m4f, most recently readily landing odds in Navan mares' Listed last month (Ill Raise A Glass third, beaten nearly 11l); bypasses the Albert Bartlett for this; every chance of staying this longer trip and major player.

Bumper winner on good ground did a lot wrong (jumping errors and hung left) when a 5l runner up behind Ill Raise A Glass on her seasonal return at Punchestown (19.5f, sft-hvy) last month; steps up in grade now and may do better with that initial experience behind her.

Changed hands for £300,000 after winning a Cheltenham bumper last April for Toby Bulgin; runner-up in two hurdles (one a Listed) and a bumper for Willie Mullins, performing to a useful level; gets weight off male opposition this time and she may appreciate not having to contend with heavy ground (weather permitting).

Half-sister to useful bumper/2m3f-3m hurdle winner Queenohearts; Cheltenham bumper winner on good ground for T Bulgin last season has encountered testing conditions in both 2m4f hurdle runs for this yard, not looking a natural jumper by any means when second in Punchestown mares' maiden and when chasing home a clear odds-on winner in Navan Listed mares novice last month; reverts to bumper here and could prove the one to beat.
