Downpatrick bumper winner improved significantly on third attempt hurdling to run away with Cork maiden over today's trip last month; that looked ordinary enough form but stamina clearly her forte and she jumps well so could well be up for this step up in grade. |

Solid level of form in bumpers, runner-up on three occasions before odds-on Downpatrick win in June; runner-up County Queen has won a bumper and maiden hurdle; finished a long way behind Knockanard Lady on hurdling debut at Cork; had excuses, made a few errors and picked up an injury. |

Placed many times over hurdles and was a fine 3rd on chasing debut at Galway (2m2f) after a break; this longer trip will suit better and should go close. |

Usually thereabouts in maiden hurdles, posting an RPR of 125 when second at Cork on his penultimate run (3m, yielding to soft); this trip looks on the tight side for chase debut but his ability is respected. |

Won his sole point-to-point on returning from a year off the track; disappointing since from 2m3f to 3m and others look much more likely. |

Off the mark (first-time cheekpieces) in 2m6f Downpatrick handicap in May off 100 but well held since, latest in similar contest in August; withdrawn over C&D last month due to good ground so may not have his ground here either and yard also have a strong contender in Goodie Girl. |

Four-time point winner in Ireland in 2018-19 but struggled to make an impact over hurdles there last season and was pulled up when 100-1 for recent stable/chase debut; needs the added cheekpieces to make a huge difference here. |
