In good form over hurdles in 2023; comfortable winner of a Ballinrobe handicap hurdle (2m, good to yielding) and followed that up with a mares' handicap hurdle win back at that track (2m, good) off 113 under today's rider; returns to hurdling now after losing her form badly in three chase runs. |

11st 5lb |
Dual-purpose mare won over hurdles at this meeting in 2022 and took her fifth race in that sphere at Listowel in May; beaten 6l on chasing debut at Tipperary since and will have to improve plenty from that. |

Dual-purpose chasing debutante is 5-21 over timber and rated 130; modest run on the Flat at Ballinrobe last week; not an obvious candidate for chasing on breeding but she will be well-schooled and can't be discounted. |

Three-time hurdles winner was back to form when runner-up at Listowel in June but tailed off at Bellewstown following that; got loose at the start and was withdrawn at Galway last week; mark still looks on the high side. |

A six-time winner under rules (three over fences) with her last win coming in a Limerick mares' chase in May when odds-on (2m4f, good); recent form well below best, including C&D handicap last month; tongue-tie added here and hard to see her featuring. |

Has been running in some hot contests including the Grade 2 mares' chase at Cheltenham when sent off at 100-1; her penultimate run at Cork when finishing third in a handicap chase was pleasing; this is more her level and she is a live contender. |
