Trained by Willie Mullins; normally consistent and may rebound with Fairyhouse reappearance (well beaten) under her belt; recorded notable novice wins over hurdles (Listed) and fences (Grade 2) in 2023; however, has something to find with compatriot Brides Hill on the figures. |

Grade 3-winning hurdler turned into a useful Flat performer in 2024; finished third in a Fairyhouse Grade 3 over 1m6f before winning the Ebor over the same trip; however, hasn't been seen since and difficult to get behind her after a long absence; the market might reveal her readiness. |

Useful hurdler, placed at the last two Cheltenham Festivals; similar standard straightaway switched to racing under Flat rules on last three outings, 1-4 for her easy 1m5f maiden win before she ran on nicely to be a close third in Group 3 at Fairyhouse (1m6f, good; unraced on firmer); this mark demands more but she did shape last time as if capable of better. |

Bumper winner; talented mare over hurdles, has run well at two Cheltenham festivals, second in last year's Grade 2 mares' novice, fourth in the County Hurdle last season; made a bright start on Flat when fifth to Thunder Roll in a 1m4f Listed race at Cork in April; readily landed the odds in a 1m5f maiden at Down Royal. |

Fetched 260,000gns after hacking up in an Irish point; only scraped home in a bumper but comfortably beat her 24 rivals in a maiden hurdle at Naas before finishing close up behind Jetara at Fairyhouse (2m2f, soft); moved as well as the front two for much of that latter race, returning to a left-handed track can help and she brings each-way hopes. |

High-class Flat stayer with Group 1 honours on the board and the recent rain is a blessing; however, has left it late to go hurdling and will need to jump with greater conviction than at Punchestown (2m4f, soft) where joined on the line by Ladybank; drop to 2m is a further cause for concern. |

She'll find it hard to beat a peak-form Panic Attack and she was pulled up in the Irish National 16 days ago; however, she was running well in January, in a Grade 2 mares' chase at Fairyhouse (2m6f, yielding) and the Thyestes Handicap at Gowran Park (3m1f, heavy; albeit no match for the first two); no surprise if she bounces back with a good performance today. |
