Runner-up in a 24-runner contest at last season's Punchestown festival; unlike the winner, who has let the form down, she has prospered in winning mares' races at Listowel and Cheltenham; strong chance despite having to concede 4lb to all her rivals.

Half-sister to the Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Al Boum Photo; found one too good after being involved in a couple of bumping incidents when odds-on for a seven-runner Galway bumper on debut last October; winner scored on merit, but there was a 10l gap to the third who won her next start by a big margin; should be more mature now.

Did well to beat some the geldings on debut in Goffs Defender Bumper at Punchestown a year ago (2m, yielding) but has run nowhere near that level in both starts since on softer ground, dropping out tamely at Huntingdon and never sighted in Grade 2 at DRF in February; sets the standard on her Punchestown form but hard to be confident in on recent efforts.

Had two subsequent winners behind when justifying favouritism at Galway on debut in August (2m1f, good); stiffer task since in Listed mares' events on much softer ground, decent third at Gowran and front-running third to a warm favourite at Navan (second narrowly beaten in Grade 2 afterwards), racing a bit keen; entitled to be thereabouts, especially if settling better.

One of three for yard; justified short odds when scoring by 0.75l on debut at the Galway Festival (2m1f, good) and the fourth and seventh have won since; Patrick Mullins prefers Liadawn but there's a fair chance she'll handle soft on breeding so she shouldn't be underestimated.
