11st 5lb |
One of three for trainer; prolific and highly talented mare justified decision to line up in this year's Champion Hurdle when adding a tenth Grade 1 win to her tally (14-18 overall) in good style; had both Anzadam and Golden Ace well behind her on that occasion; 3-3 at this venue, including when 19l in front of Glen Kiln in this season's Morgiana Hurdle; this looks easier than Cheltenham and she's ground-versatile; shock result if she doesn't win. |

11st 3lb |
Versatile as regards ground; prolific and highly talented mare whose record of 13-17 features nine Grade 1 wins, including three at this meeting (Triumph and two Mares' Hurdles); 4-4 at this venue overall; failed to justify favouritism in the Irish Champion Hurdle most recently but ran creditably without managing to confirm December placings with Brighterdaysahead; has less to prove than that rival back at Cheltenham and holds a big chance at the weights; wears headgear for the first time. |

Winner of 13 of her 16 starts; bypassed the 2025 Champion Hurdle, instead winning the Mares' Hurdle readily; previously, fell mid-race in this race and beaten just over 2l by Constitution Hill in the Christmas Hurdle; easy winner of Aintree Hurdle after Constitution Hill's fall; had a straightforward task in the Morgiana on return, and was too strong for the reappearing Brightedaysahead here at Christmas. |

Runner-up in the 2023 Triumph; finished behind Lantry Lady in last season's Grade 1 Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham and was out the back when falling three out in last month's renewal; only third in a Listed hurdle at Warwick the time before, so current wellbeing is an issue. |

Steadily progressive mare before pulling up behind Lossiemouth in the Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham; goes on any ground and will be in the mix for minor honours. |

Right back to her best when putting in a game effort to finish runner-up to Lossiemouth in the Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham, with the other three rivals in this contest in behind; return to quicker ground is fine but hard to see how she turns the form around with Lossiemouth given how easily she won that contest. |

French recruit who is unbeaten in two starts at this venue including a Grade 3 win in February; third behind Lossiemouth and Telmesomethinggirl at Cheltenham last time out; unproven on what could be quicker ground but place chance if she handles it. |
