11st 5lb |
Yet to win over fences but did go close over 2m4f in a Naas beginners' chase (soft) in March where she had Galway Plate winner Western Fold 5l behind; however, she hasn't fired the last twice and she may need softer ground. |

Hurdles winner on testing ground and easily the pick of three chase efforts last season when clear second in 2m4f Naas beginners (soft); looked a bit onepaced back at 2m at Cork latest; capable back up for Aspire Tower here although really wants it softer. |

Odds-on winner of a 2m Tramore maiden last August on his ninth start over hurdles; subsequently left Martin Brassil; failed to stay when tried over an extended 3m in a handicap at Punchestown on his first start for this stable; this should suit much better. |

Juvenile form was decent; obtained ample experience, if somewhat frustrating; in theory his Cheltenham sixth when last seen should be enough here but far from convinced he'll show his best. |
