Got off the mark over hurdles here over a similar trip to this but was poor at Bellewstown since; has to rebound on chasing debut but is at least proven on this track.

Still a maiden after 20 runs over hurdles; not far off her best when fourth over 2m2f at Downpatrick in June; chased home easy winner Chance Another One at Ballinrobe; fourth behind the in-form Mephisto at the same venue nine days ago.

Point winner has been running consistently over fences this season, runner-up in two mares' beginners' before a comfortable win at Ballinrobe in September (2m7f, soft); outclassed in Graded company, but in between those efforts she ran respectably in a four-runner contest around here in October when third; makes handicap chase debut now.

1-11 over hurdles and rated 116, so not in the same league as the principals here; has made a bright start over fences but this is way tougher than winning a mares' race at Ballinrobe over much further.
