Form & Verdict
Useful 139-rated hurdler, winner at three in France, good placed form last season; has made mistakes on her two chase starts, but has taken on much stronger opposition than in a Grade 2 contest at Cork and when the only other finisher behind Telmesomethingirl at Naas; hard to oppose here.

Fifth in the Mares' Chase at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft; Riviere D'Etel 5l back in sixth) and subsequently runner-up at Fairyhouse (2m5f, heavy); this trip should suit and she's an obvious contender.

Bumper/hurdle winner who has returned this season from a long absence; 0-5 over fences (2m2f-3m) and didn't offer much over the longer trip on her switch to handicaps at Fairyhouse; perhaps a tongue-tie will help matters.
