Form & Verdict
Versatile and durable nine-time winner, including last season's Welsh Champion Hurdle (handicap); last season's successes also included a Grade B 2m1f handicap hurdle at this venue; well below her best lately but faced a stiff task in a Grade 3 contest last time and suited by the race conditions here; also a positive that she ran well over fences at the May fixture at this venue.

Admirable mare will be having her 108th start under rules; 1-21 over fences but has run well at this venue on multiple occasions; lost form since shock win in a 2m listed handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse in March 2024; hard to fancy on recent showings but can't fully dismiss.
