Beat subsequent winner here in June but wheels came off since, flopping at Roscommon (mistakes) and worse again in that regard at Ballinrobe; hood adds to the quandary up in trip. |

Convincingly beat a subsequent winner in a Tramore maiden hurdle last month; very tame effort in a novice hurdle at Roscommon since won by a stable companion; safe to put a line through that and should do much better here. |

Both chase wins have been in quite valuable 2m1f handicaps (yielding), most recently at Fairyhouse in November 2024; below best this season, however, and needs to be revitalised by this switch to the banks; ground should suit. |

One of two for trainer; Leopardstown St Stephen's Day handicap chase winner in 2023 (2m1f, soft); returned to form when winning a Fairyhouse handicap in November and beaten a short head at Leopardstown in race she won year prior; out of form in three runs since and still 6lb above last winning mark; likely best watched for now. |

Expensive store horse out of half-sister to Brave Inca; ran in the Magnier colours when beaten just half-a-length at Tipperary (2m4f) in April; has disappointed since changing ownership; beaten fav at Kilbeggan and 20l third at Tramore albeit trip was probably too sharp for him there; has a few questions to answer now. |

Didn't have a good strike-rate over hurdles or fences but then went back-to-back in 2m4f handicap chases on good to soft at Musselburgh late last year; 5lb higher than for that latest 5l success and her subsequent defeat was over hurdles; chance. |
