10st 11lb |
Plenty of placed form, including at this trip, over hurdles and fences in France; off the mark on Irish debut in Killarney maiden in October; appeared to run very well when third to last season's smart juveniles Pied Piper and Knight Salute at Cheltenham but probably flattered by her proximity in what was a very steadily-run contest; respected nonetheless. |

Made heavy weather of winning a Limerick hurdle last month (2m, soft/heavy) but had previously performed well in a couple of 2m4f Grade 2s won by Inthepocket and You Wear It Well, both of whom ran so well here at the Festival; has form on all ground and must have every chance. |

Irish mare who was purchased for £385,000 after point win (3m, good); followed up in Galway maiden hurdle (2m, soft) then ran well behind some useful male rivals in Grade 2 at Naas (2m4f, soft; form has substance); had wind surgery since and now goes in tongue-tie; should improve further; big player back against her own sex. |

Won mares hurdle at Kilbeggan last summer and has been quite highly tried since, notably good second in a 3m Cork Listed; didn't jump well and never landed a blow in Grade 2 mares' novice at Thurles on latest and is now fitted with a tongue tie; again plenty on her plate here. |

Maiden winner on good ground at Kilbeggan in June; not a bad run when fourth at Roscommon in July; jumped badly when highly tried in a Grade 3 event at Tipperary; better when second over 3m at Cork eight weeks ago; faces a stiff task against younger mares here. |

19th Dec 2022 Frozen 2m 3f 80y |
10st 11lb |
Dual point winner made winning start over hurdles in 2m6f Killarney maiden in May and touched off in 3m novice at Kilbeggan next time; well held last twice although excuses for last month's reappearance run at Navan; very stiff task at this level. |
66/1 |
Verdict
Cork Listed runner-up Granny Lowrie can’t be discounted but this looks to rest between Galway maiden winner DEEPLY SUPERFICIAL and Cheltenham third Bella Scintilla. The latter may be a bit flattered by the bare form of that latest run and the former gets the nod. [Mark Nunan]
