J: Mark Walsh

T: Henry De Bromhead

Winning hurdler (here) whose standout effort in that sphere was a fine third behind Wodhooh in the 2025 Martin Pipe; no show in midfield in both beginners chases in November but can't be ruled out making an immediate impact in handicaps off 5lb lower chase mark.

Very useful hurdler, two wins and third in 2024 Cheltenham Mares' Novices Hurdle; took a while to find her form over fences but won at Killarney and Listowel last year; second in Grade 3 novice here in October; never counted at Fairyhouse after a break.

Very useful hurdler, two wins and third in 2024 Cheltenham Mares' Novices Hurdle; took a while to find her form over fences but won at Killarney and Listowel last year, absent since decent second in Grade 3 Punchestown novice in October; has run well fresh so respected on return although trip on the short side.

4 yo Filly

OR:

Form & Verdict
Third reserve; placed in five of her six bumpers and still held clear lead when running out at second last on recent hurdles debut at Limerick; clearly has plenty of ability but caution advised.

Hurdle winner but has been well beaten over hurdles/fences of late and isn't easy to fancy until showing more spark; first-time blinkers might help.
