17th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Very useful novice hurdler who was sixth in the Mares' event at this meeting; has gone on to better things over fences and made it 3-3 when coming home strongly to beat a good rival on disadvantageous terms in a Punchestown Grade 3 in January (2m3f, heavy); should find this race run to suit and has rock-solid form claims. |

Decent novice hurdler last season but has stepped it up a notch over fences, following a beginners' chase success at Wexford with a convincing success in a Grade 2 mares novice at Cork; has to give weight to geldings here and this is another step up in class, but no surprise should she be capable. |

11st 3lb |
High-class mare has won eleven of her 20 starts over fences, including this race last year; as good as ever this season and won the Mares' Chase at Cheltenham on latest (Only By Night runner-up, Spindleberry fourth); top-rated here and best treated by race conditions; the one to beat. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Runner-up in this race in 2024 (soft) and went one better last year (good to soft); made mistakes when beaten on return to action at Navan in November and has since posted easy wins at Fairyhouse (Grade 3) and Naas (Listed) when heavily odds-on each time; she's the one to beat. |

High-class mare is 9-18 chasing, including this race last year and Grade 2 Liberthine Mares' Chase at Cheltenham; beaten favourite on seasonal return in Fortria at Navan in November but back on track in landing long odds with ease in 3-runner Grade 3 at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day, her first attempt at 2m6f; versatile mare, back in trip and remains very much the one to beat. |

10st 0lb |
Won a mares' beginners' at Tipperary in the summer; a little inconsistent since and hasn't been at the level required to challenge in this contest, particularly from 2lb out of the weights; wears first-time cheekpieces. |

Grade 3-winning hurdler here hasn't progressed over fences as hoped, despite landing long odds in Tipperary mares maiden; well held behind Fighting Fit in handicaps and tame hurdles effort latest hardly inspires confidence although remains well handicapped on her best form. |

Better known as a chaser these days but won a Grade 3 over timber in her pomp; back on a good mark and these conditions will suit. |

Made all to beat a below par Allegorie De Vassy in a Fairyhouse Listed last year; broadly consistent since then, second to Ardera Ru at Fairyhouse and in a Listed at Perth last week; should get into the money. |

Fifth in the Mares' Chase at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft; Riviere D'Etel 5l back in sixth) and subsequently runner-up at Fairyhouse (2m5f, heavy); this trip should suit and she's an obvious contender. |
