11st 10lb |
Won three handicaps for previous yard and likes good ground; 1m6f Flat winner last year when her hurdles form wasn't great; has dropped down to last winning mark, but not a hectic record when fresh and last two wins have come in cheekpieces. |

Wexford specialist with both of her wins coming there, the most recent of which was in May off 81 (2m1f, good); again ran well there last time when a 3.5l third (2m1f, good to yielding); remains 9lb above last win but she is in good form |

Second reserve; couldn't take advantage of a 7lb lower chase mark here last month when a close third of 12 (2m, good); returned to hurdles at Cork last time when a well beaten fifth (2m1f, good); she likes this track with both of her wins coming here so not discounted if getting a run. |

One of two runners for yard; has shown ability over timber and was second in a Sligo maiden hurdle in July; was still in with a chance when falling in a handicap hurdle at Wexford on latest; is related to a couple of chase winners and is in good hands; leading claims if her jumping holds up. |

Improved steadily in four runs over hurdles; came on for reappearance at Downpatrick when beaten 2.5l by Torquay Road at Sligo (2m1f) 33 days ago; seems a lenient mark on handicap debut and she's a leading contender. |
