She'll find it hard to beat a peak-form Panic Attack and she was pulled up in the Irish National 16 days ago; however, she was running well in January, in a Grade 2 mares' chase at Fairyhouse (2m6f, yielding) and the Thyestes Handicap at Gowran Park (3m1f, heavy; albeit no match for the first two); no surprise if she bounces back with a good performance today.

Had a good season as a novice last term, four wins included 2m4f Grade 3 Tipperary novice and finished third to Dinoblue at Cheltenham; reappeared with a fine third in the Galway Plate in July; pulled up in Kerry National when reported with atrial fibrillation and signs of being in season; jumped untidily when predictably no match for Dinoblue at Fairyhouse.

Strike-rate of 1-10 over both hurdles and fences; gave it a good go from the front in a 2m6f handicap chase at Punchestown last time (heavy) and the recent rain has done her prospects no harm; considered.

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.

Form & Verdict
Point winner for Colin Bowe; landed a Downpatrick maiden hurdle in good style last October; struggled in two handicap hurdles during the summer; different proposition when switched to chasing at Killarney last month; saw out the extended 2m7f well, and may not be as effective over this shorter trip.
