Bumper win here came on heavy, now 0-14 hurdling, pick of recent form when second on similar ground in Gowran mares maiden in March, didn't get beyond the first at Tramore last time (Nirisque second); ground could be plenty quick for her. |

0-23 under Rules and 0-11 in chases; his most recent third at Killarney was a remote one and his best form is on good ground; others appeal more. |

Lightly raced 8yo; 10-1 when pulled up in the Irish National (3m5f, heavy) last April, in touch five out on his only go at a marathon trip; reappearance win at Cheltenham (3m1f, good) in October was a great deal more auspicious, staying on strongly; creditable sixth off this 9lb higher mark in Coral Gold Cup next time and had a hurdle race in February; needs a second look. |

Three front-running hurdle wins in 2024 (2m5f/3m, soft/good to soft) and she was running pretty well in defeat towards the end of 2025; 10l second of four at Carlisle 17 days ago on chase debut, showing she has some way to go before she's matching today's rivals over fences. |
