Form & Verdict
Quite lightly-raced mare has a good strike rate of 7-12, including two of three starts over fences this term; rallied late to win over 2m4f at Warwick and last month best effort yet when making all in 3-runner 2m5f Uttoxeter mares novices' handicap, getting very much things her own way and jumping well; avoids a penalty here so in receipt of 10lb looks a big threat to Harmonya Maker but won't get such a soft lead here.

Form & Verdict
Bumper winner and 2m6f hurdles winner; successful chasing debut here over 2m5f in October (soft) and slightly better form here last month when fourth to Harmonya Maker, none too fluent and never landing a blow; 10lb better off with that rival now but no guarantee she'll reverse the form.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Has contested Graded mares' novices since chase debut win at Gowran in November, notably jumping repeatedly left when beaten by Silent Approach at Cork and here last month in 2m4f Grade 2 contest, overturning earlier heavy defeat to Hauturiere when jumping much better and seemingly appreciating longer trip; up further in trip here and good chance of confirming latest form with fourth-placed Law Ella despite weight concession.

All wins on heavy and soft ground, the latest in a Grade 2 over 2m4f at Thurles in January; lesser effort behind Marsh Wren (who was receiving 10lb) there since, though, and she would be getting weight from a few of these rivals in a handicap.

Bumper and hurdles winner; fair level of form chasing this term although hasn't looked especially progressive; very much the Elliott second-string here and a placing would be an achievement.

No threat to front pair when third in recent Ulster National (a race she won last year) at Downpatrick (3m4f, good) but that was still a pretty good effort and she remains on a workable mark; considered each-way.
