Winning hurdler beaten 21l in that sphere on latest; pulled up and beaten 28l in two previous chase starts, albeit those were over inadequate trips; rated 7lb lower over fences so not dismissed.

J: Conor Stone-Walsh

T: David M O’Brien

Took a big step forward when second of 18 over an extended 2m6f at Limerick early last month (good); proved that was no fluke when winning over C&D last time (Gerrys Wish 2.25l behind in second); up 6lb but she's of obvious interest.

Fairly lightly raced overall; in very good form this year, winning a handicap hurdle at Clonmel in May and solid efforts since including over 3m here last time; drop back in trip is fine; handicapper has not been harsh on her and the jockey of the moment is booked to ride; ticks a lot of boxes
