Stable won this in 2022 and 2023; this mare is 0-9 over hurdles but has finished runner-up seven times, including her sole handicap start two outings ago; looks handicapped about right but has each-way claims.

Useful Flat maiden, runner-up in four maidens and rated 77 in that sphere; placed in three maiden hurdles, latest at Roscommon (2m gd) 17 days ago when beaten 6.25l into third, shaping well as was unsuited by slow pace; should be winning one of these soon and the one to beat.

Flat maiden has run well in defeat lots of times over hurdles (13 starts) including at Limerick last time; ground-versatile and has the highest published rating in the field so should be bang there again.

Has hit top form recently; followed up an easy win in a weak Downpatrick maiden hurdle (2m2f, good) with success in a Sligo novice contest (2m2f, good); his rating of 120 over hurdles is the best on offer here but he must transfer it to fences on this chasing bow.
