Form & Verdict
Point-to-point winner won first two racecourse outings at Naas this time last year in bumper and mares' maiden hurdle on soft; highly-tried afterwards, notably career-best third in Grade 2 mares' novice at Cheltenham; sister to winning French chaser and dam a winning chaser also so good bet she'll prove as effective over fences and has to be respected.

Fetched 260,000gns after hacking up in an Irish point; only scraped home in a bumper but comfortably beat her 24 rivals in a maiden hurdle at Naas before finishing close up behind Jetara at Fairyhouse (2m2f, soft); moved as well as the front two for much of that latter race, returning to a left-handed track can help and she brings each-way hopes.

Bolted up in Thurles maiden hurdle a year ago but didn't progress; both recent chase efforts had merit, just behind Henning at Thurles and made plenty of use of when second to a clear-cut winner at Fairyhouse; this looks a tougher task and tried hooded.

Reserve; returned to form when second in mares' handicap over 2m6f at Punchestown last month and she stays 3m; however, this 8yo is just 1-10 over fences and there's a suspicion this task will prove too competitive.
