12st 0lb

J: James Smith

T: Anthony McCann

Record of 1-19 over timber; three-time winner on the Flat has placed in two starts in that sphere since falling over hurdles at Leopardstown in March; recent form suggests she's fit and healthy but poor strike rate over hurdles is off-putting.

J: Patrick McGettigan

T: Anthony McCann

Had three seasons with Andrew Balding, including three wins, and has been with this yard since July 2023, including for two wins (one over hurdles) and plenty of place returns; third over 1m4f in her only two Flat runs in the last 13 months, including under Patrick McGettigan 17 days ago, and her very solid Flat record for this trainer suggests she will be on the premises.

J: Patrick McGettigan

T: Anthony McCann

Three-time Flat winner in Britain for Andrew Balding; just 1-19 hurdling, quite highly tried at times; place claims when last-flight faller in Leopardstown handicap last month; possible fitness edge over some of these so don't rule out.

12st 1lb

J: Eoghan Finegan

T: Anthony McCann

Three-time Flat winner; just one win from 18 starts hurdling, along with eight seconds; ran well to finish third (behind the useful Cousin Kate) with newly added cheekpieces in a Listed handicap over C&D at the DRF; has a narrow edge over Maxios Prime; frustrating but capable of going close.
