OR: 123

Form & Verdict
Low-key return after a four-month absence at Thurles last week; in good form earlier in the season and all her best form has come on this sort of ground; while she's on a tough mark, this isn't a strong contest and she should be involved if she bounces back from last week's run.

Form & Verdict
Won claiming hurdle on final start for Gavin Cromwell in the summer and she bounced back from two falls when only beaten 2l in a handicap chaser at Fairyhouse last month; however, still made mistakes and she seems a risky proposition from a jumping perspective at present.

Only one win from 18 starts over fences, but placed eight times and has finished fourth on her last three starts; finished a little over 10l behind Evies Vladimir at Down Royal but may be better for the run, her first since last June

Form & Verdict
In career best form in recent starts, winning at Limerick on Stephen's Day before two placed efforts at Clonmel; the concern would be that all her best form is with soft in the going description but she's still on a workable mark and she will be in the mix if she does handle conditions; stays this trip.
