11st 2lb

J: Peter Smithers

T: J P Dempsey

4yo filly holds an experience edge; has placed in a couple of handicap hurdles and is rated 107; far from disgraced in decent mares' handicap hurdle at Galway last time out; big player getting lots of weight back in maiden company.

Only fifth when favourite last time but perhaps the ground was too soft having previously finished second in 2m1f/2m4f handicaps on quicker surfaces; after seven races there's scope for further improvement.

J: Aidan Kelly

T: J P Dempsey

4yo filly is 0-6 over hurdles but has races in her; runner up in mares' handicaps at Bellewstown (2m1f, yielding) and Wexford (2m4f, gd-yld) the last twice; nudged up another 3lb and not sure she wants testing ground; chance if the forecast rain misses.

Made a good impression when third at Fairyhouse first time (2m, soft to heavy); failed to repeat that until taking the second spot at Bellewstown last month (2m1f, yielding); not the most fluent jumper but in the mix with improvement.

10st 3lb

J: Simon Torrens

T: J P Dempsey

Made a good impression when third at Fairyhouse first time (2m, soft to heavy); failed to reproduce that form at the same venue on her second start or at Punchestown subsequently in a first-time hood; lacked jumping fluency at Navan on handicap debut when a 10.5l sixth of 12; others preferred.
