Form & Verdict
Jumped left when winning here and at Kilbeggan on nice ground in midsummer; not recover from bad mistake at Galway and turned over at 3-10 when caught on the line by Popova at Listowel; weighted to reverse form with that rival but heavy ground is a worry along with going back right-handed.

Form & Verdict
Hasn't run over hurdles since finishing seventh in Fred Winter over two years ago; smart novice over fences, Grade 2/3 winner and twice runner-up at Grade 1 level; ran well on reappearance last season and wasn't out of things when falling in Mares' Chase at Cheltenham; first time out record is encouraging, not sure to stay but good opportunity all the same.

Has only won on goodish ground but seems effective on softer (rain forecast); solid second to My Gaffer from well off the pace after a break at Killarney and now better off at the weights with that rival; firmly in the mix.

Front-runner has tons of experience and won maiden/handicap at Fairyhouse last term, slipping the field both times; rivals wouldn't want to give her too much rope but vulnerable after a layoff.

Form & Verdict
Handicapper felt latest Listed third at Gowran (2m, soft/heavy) flattered her and he's probably right as she was ridden to pick up pieces; bumper and maiden winner is likeable, though, albeit this trip on testing ground may be too far.
