Form & Verdict

Definitely has two ways of running; 33-1 for her bumper win at Wexford last season and the same price for maiden hurdle success at Roscommon a month ago, a run prefaced by failure to complete on her final start last year and on her first outing this year.; hard to know what to expect.

Form & Verdict

Handicap winner over 2m3f at Kilbeggan in April; runner-up reversed the form in a rematch at Wexford; poor run at Downpatrick but made handsome amends when beating 130-rated stablemate Effernock Fizz in a mares' event at Killarney; in overall terms, this looks a weaker race.

Form & Verdict

Unseated early on his hurdling debut almost two years ago; five-time Flat winner, including a 1m2f premier handicap at the Curragh in May; options broadened now by last maiden hurdle win at Roscommon, achieved with a bit to spare; can hold his own.
