Form & Verdict
Classy customer and consistent with it; placed at the last two Cheltenham Festivals; a notable achievement to defy top weight over a trip short of her best (2m) back at Cheltenham last week and she was runner-up in this 12 months ago; every chance of going one better.

Multiple wins in Listed mares' chases, the latest at Newbury (2m7f, soft) in December; she's well treated on that form now back in a handicap but has been a long way below her best the last twice; needs to bounce back.

Dual winner last season, the second over 2m5f here on soft ground off a 7lb lower mark; mainly creditable efforts this season, including when fourth over C&D last time (heavy; first-time tongue tie) when running as though needing the race; chance.

Won back-to-back handicap chases last season, the second one here (on soft); 9lb higher now and couldn't say that she's improved since; ran well last time though and perhaps a tongue-tie will help.

Form & Verdict
Placed in a Grade 1 novice hurdle at Aintree (3m, good to soft) last April; these terms are unfavourable judged on her chasing exploits to date and she didn't have to improve to win at Warwick (2m4f, soft) last time.

Form & Verdict
Smart hurdler who is every bit as good over fences, getting off the mark in a 2m6f Listed race at Thurles (good) before predictably struggling against male opposition in a Grade 1 at Fairyhouse (2m4f); sound jumper with very strong claims in this company.
