11st 3lb |
High-class mare has won eleven of her 20 starts over fences, including this race last year; as good as ever this season and won the Mares' Chase at Cheltenham on latest (Only By Night runner-up, Spindleberry fourth); top-rated here and best treated by race conditions; the one to beat. |

11st 5lb |
Runner-up in this race in 2024 (soft) and went one better last year (good to soft); made mistakes when beaten on return to action at Navan in November and has since posted easy wins at Fairyhouse (Grade 3) and Naas (Listed) when heavily odds-on each time; she's the one to beat. |

High-class mare is 9-18 chasing, including this race last year and Grade 2 Liberthine Mares' Chase at Cheltenham; beaten favourite on seasonal return in Fortria at Navan in November but back on track in landing long odds with ease in 3-runner Grade 3 at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day, her first attempt at 2m6f; versatile mare, back in trip and remains very much the one to beat. |

10st 0lb |
Won a mares' beginners' at Tipperary in the summer; a little inconsistent since and hasn't been at the level required to challenge in this contest, particularly from 2lb out of the weights; wears first-time cheekpieces. |

Grade 3-winning hurdler here hasn't progressed over fences as hoped, despite landing long odds in Tipperary mares maiden; well held behind Fighting Fit in handicaps and tame hurdles effort latest hardly inspires confidence although remains well handicapped on her best form. |

8th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Very well handicapped on old Irish form but returned from long absence with four disappointing chase runs towards end of last season and her current hurdling ability is very hard to gauge; tongue-tie removed after one use. |

17th Apr 2025 Good 3m 1f 56y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Very well handicapped on old form over shorter trips for Gordon Elliott but returned from long layoff with two disappointing runs this year; fared a bit better in first-time cheekpieces at Ludlow (3m, good; race won by Saint Doctor) a fortnight ago but looked held when unseating rider at fourth-last fence; upped in trip and fitted with tongue-tie here. |

Took her a long time to win a beginners' chase which she finally managed to do on easy ground at Sligo last month; jumped well then having had a few issues in that department in the past; much stiffer task here on second handicap start. |

Right back to her best when putting in a game effort to finish runner-up to Lossiemouth in the Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham, with the other three rivals in this contest in behind; return to quicker ground is fine but hard to see how she turns the form around with Lossiemouth given how easily she won that contest. |
