Dual-purpose; 1-29 on Flat; 0-6 over hurdles; her sole Flat win came over three years ago, but she had fair form in 2025, including when second in a 1m5f handicap at this venue; well clear of the remainder when chasing home an easy winner at Tramore on New Year's Day. |

Record of 1-27 with her win coming three years ago doesn't inspire hugely, but she has been running well in defeat recently; beaten a head at Down Royal in first-time cheekpieces off 62 in July (1m5f, good); creditable runs at Galway and Killarney following that (a neck behind Ehteyat at Killarney); interesting. |

Verdict
This is going to take plenty of getting in these conditions and smart hurdler PLAINS INDIAN could be best equipped. This trip will suit better than the 1m4f here last time. Fellow smart hurdler Whatcouldhavebeen could be his biggest danger. Thurles winner Nostra Casa, Gowran winner Ellaat, Penny Jar, Killeemore Lad and Quiz Test can be involved. [Tyrone Molloy]
