Form & Verdict
Hurdle winner made fencing debut when third in this last year and 12 chase runs later she's back for another go; all that experience has to count for something but no signs of progression this summer; should handle bad ground at least.

Took her a long time to win a beginners' chase which she finally managed to do on easy ground at Sligo last month; jumped well then having had a few issues in that department in the past; much stiffer task here on second handicap start.

Very consistent handicapper over hurdles with both 2m4f wins coming on goodish ground; set to win when last-fence faller at Kilbeggan; chase debut third came on soft but doesn't want it worse than that.

Bumper and hurdles winner on good ground but handles heavy; fair comeback from year off at Leopardstown in February; never involved at Galway but that should leave her right for this debut over fences; winning chasers in her family.
