2-21 in Ireland, mostly for Henry de Bromhead and with latest win last June (made most); not nearly so good in her three runs for new yard but latest defeat was not as heavy and Irish record suggests that a return to better ground would be very much in her favour; title-challenging stable has made some telling strikes in handicaps this spring and she is one to note.

Ex-Irish; her last three wins were in 2022 but she went close over hurdles here (2m6f, good; Tupelo Mississippi fourth) on recent stable debut; that was a big run after 288 days off and she's respected back over fences; tongue-tie removed.

Ex-Irish; her last three wins were in 2022; none too consistent last year but the best of those efforts were not far off her peak, including at Navan in September when last seen; has joined a yard (runs four) that's well known for its successes at this track.

Maiden after 19 starts but has been placed four times over hurdles and creditable effort on third attempt chasing when fourth to Where's Bunny in Tramore handicap a fortnight ago, not helped by mistakes at final two fences; meets that rival on 7lb better terms and tongue tie tried; has a chance if putting in more fluent round of jumping.
