11st 3lb |
Solid recent form in maidens has been over longer distances, third over 2m6f at Killarney three weeks ago; seems to be ground versatile but 2m not guaranteed to bring out the best in her judged on overall form. |

Career best when runner-up in a mares' maiden hurdle at Clonmel last month; more required here though and has stamina to prove over this trip. |

Three-time hurdles winner at around 3m but not as good a chaser to-date, best effort latest when second in 2m6f Galway handicap last month off a lowly mark of 86; looks out of her depth here. |

Placed in a few maidens but then lost her form in handicaps last season; best run this term second at Cork in May but disappointing since and has to rebound. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 100y |

Back to form when beaten half a length over this C&D on May's return to action but she was tailed off at Sligo subsequently; needs to bounce back and this looks like a difficult assignment for the grade. |

Three-time hurdles winner on good to yielding; finished 0.75l behind Spick And Span at Clonmel (2m4f, yielding) before stepping up in trip at Tipperary last time to record a very easy victory (23.5f, good to yielding); up 7lb now and drops back in trip. |

Dual hurdles winner is now 7lb below last winning mark; won at Ballinrobe in July last year (2m1f, good to yielding); winner of a beginners' chase here in March over extended 2m; out of form following that; modest third at Ballinrobe last time (2m6f, soft). |

10st 2lb |
Off the mark chasing on tenth attempt in 2m5f Clonmel mares' beginners last month (soft) but ultimately no match for a 10l winner nine days later in 2m5f Fairyhouse mares' handicap: front-runner should run her race but vulnerable. |

Off the mark chasing on tenth attempt in 2m5f Clonmel mares' beginners last month (soft): highly-tried on occasions, notably when second to Only By Night at Exeter last year and to Spindleberry at Clonmel in November; back in handicap company and can go well. |

Campaigned in Graded company over last 18 months; produced some strong efforts, most notably when second to Only By Night at Exeter last year and to Spindleberry at Clonmel in November; two below-par efforts over fences since but appreciated step back up in trip with good run over hurdles last time at Punchestown; course winner over hurdles has the form to win this. |
