Has a good record over hurdles at this venue; has yet to score in 13 starts over fences; pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Galway last time; stablemate The Dara Man is more interesting.

Won a 2m6f maiden hurdle at this track last year before a poor run at Galway; posted solid efforts in both chase runs earlier this year, including back here; rated 124 and should go well getting the 7lb mares' allowance.

Comfortable Cork maiden hurdle winner (good) has been running consistently in handicaps; placed on her last four starts and did not seem inconvenienced by heavy ground when second to Cousin Kate at Limerick; fair chance of reversing form on these terms.

Dual-purpose filly won a 2m Cork maiden hurdle in March; some decent runs in defeat since, including over 2m6f at Killarney and Ballinrobe the last twice; should be fine at this trip and a major player.

Off the mark on debut at Wexford and better form in defeat since with a neck defeat in three-runner novice at Kilbeggan before a fall when still involved at Killarney; 2m1f too short at Bellewstown last time and one to be interested in stepping back up to this sort of distance; unexposed.

Won a 2m4f Wexford maiden on debut and was just denied over 3m in a Kilbeggan novice; in contention when falling three out in a 2m4f Killarney event won by shorter-priced stablemate Emily Love; dropped in trip now, could be vulnerable.

In excellent form and has won two of her last three, both over C&D; is now 17lb higher than when winning easily here in May and this is stronger than the race she won last time but clearly loves this place and in the mix again.
