11st 1lb |
Career best when fourth in the Irish National last time; fair to assume the improvement came from the step up in trip that day so she's probably vulnerable back at 2m5f. |

10th Apr 2023 Soft 3m 5f 0y |
10st 7lb |
Best form on soft; three chase wins at about 2m5f in 2022 and that's probably more her trip; has to rate as a doubtful stayer over this far. |

17th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Best form on soft; three chase wins at about 2m5f in 2022 but at a lesser level and she was again no real match for Jeremys Flame, who has improved since, at Thurles last February; looks to be flying too high in this company. |

Decent mare has been running mostly over fences in the last two seasons; did run well over hurdles behind French Dynamite at Thurles last October and has a squeak. |

5th Feb 2023 Yielding 2m 5f 44y |
11st 6lb |
Strong galloping and sound jumping mare at her best; has come up short so far this season but was only beaten five lengths in the Paddy Power here and her run at Fairyhouse a few days later might have some too soon; could have each-way potential in a very open contest. |
25/1 |

3rd 1 |
1st Jan 2023 Soft 2m 5f 30y |

Useful mare won a Grade 2 chase at Thurles a year ago; was second to Dolcita in Listed company at Clonmel giving her 11lb, while she also ran a cracker in the Paddy Power Chase five days ago at Leopardstown; go well again if this doesn't come too soon. |

Quality mare at this level; finished third in this race last year before being just denied by Elimay in the Mares' Chase at Cheltenham; rounded off her season by routing that rival in a Grade 2 at Punchestown; a long way below that level on return at Clonmel behind Dolcita but should strip fitter today. |

17th Nov 2022 Soft To Heavy 2m 4f 96y |

Last year's second took her form to a new level when running away from Elimay (Dolcita a remote third) in 2m5f Grade 2 mares' contest at Punchestown festival, jumping well in the main; the one to beat on that piece of form. |

Runner-up in this last year when bidding for a hat-trick following on from her Mares' Chase success at Cheltenham; doesn't arrive in the same form this time and well held at Cheltenham last month. |

17th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Close second in this race two years ago and won it from Pink Legend in 2022 (good to soft; acts well on soft/heavy); hasn't run up to that level in her two outings this winter and, although she should do better back here, this will take more winning than 12 months ago; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
22/1 |

11th Feb 2023 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Very short-priced winner of a weak edition of this race 12 months ago before landing Grade 2 mares' contest at Cheltenham last March; unable to confirm Cheltenham form with Scarlet And Dove in Grade 2 at Punchestown festival event; faded into fourth behind stablemate Dolcita on seasonal debut at Clonmel in November. |

Is 1-9 in chases; that win came in a mares' chase at Clonmel in March 2022; has run well here a couple of times in the past and she should strip fitter after a spin over hurdles at Navan; capable of making her presence felt off her current mark. |

Last two wins came back-to-back in the early months of 2022; failed to complete her final two starts before a break, fell in a chase at Punchestown, pulled up when well fancied for a handicap hurdle at Wexford; showed that she could run well fresh when second at Punchestown 13 months ago. |

In-foal mare; won Killarney mares' Listed contest in May, relegating Shecouldbeanything to third; backed that up by beating Senecia at Listowel; can be fancied to uphold form with those two rivals on these terms and could go close. |

Punchestown defeat of Scarlet And Dove at 2021 Punchestown festival arguably a career-best; remote last behind same rival in this year's renewal and recent handicap form leaves her with loads to find; blinkers now tried. |

Past handicappers have a good record and this mare fits the bill, having won the Kim Muir here two years ago; she was challenging the thrown-in Inothewayurthinkin when falling two out in last season's edition of that same race; has gone 2-2 in points this term and had far too much for the respected Ryehill last time; worthy of her prominence in the betting. |
