Form & Verdict

Point' winner got off the mark under rules when winning a Tramore handicap chase (2m5f) in April and ran a fine race to be runner-up over 2m3f here next time; disappointed off this mark at Limerick since and has to bounce back.

Is 1-11 in points'; ran well in a Limerick hunter chase in December 2021; tailed-off in a Punchestown beginners' chase six days ago; probably high enough in the handicap.

Finally got off the mark under rules when winning a restricted hunters chase at Punchestown, having been in good form in points'; 2lb out of the handicap but unwise to dismiss.

Form & Verdict

Reserves her best for this course, with all three hurdle wins coming here over 2m6f and placed many times too; however, her chasing efforts have been well below par, including twice here, so isn't easy to fancy.
