Placed in all three starts over hurdles in France and is 2-2 for this yard after breezing home at Hereford and digging deep at Aintree (both on good to soft; tongue tied latterly); probably has to find something on the form of that latest Listed success against her own sex but that's perfectly feasible.

Returned from break in career-best form over fences this spring and subsequently exploited her novice hurdle status at Hexham (2m, good), albeit unimpressive in justifying skinny odds; suited by fast ground and features prominently in calculations.

Irish-trained filly who is 2-22 on the Flat and 0-4 as a hurdler; similar sort of chance to some of her compatriots on their clashes back home but she'll need more here and it's questionable whether there's any improvement forthcoming.

Dual-purpose; 5-55 on turf on the Flat but on losing run since scoring at Leopardstown (1m4f, heavy) in October 2024; is now 17lb below that win and she shaped promisingly over an inadequate 1m here 13 days ago in a first-time tongue tie (retained); could go well back up in trip.
