Form & Verdict
Classy mare won a Grade 3 novice over hurdles but has shown better form over fences despite being a 'chancey' jumper at times; won a pair of Grade 2 novices before a fine 2nd in the open Paddy Power Mares' Chase at Cheltenham; below that form twice after, including behind Instit at Fairyhouse; however, goes well fresh and respected.

Form & Verdict
Decent mare won twice over fences (both at Fairyhouse) last season; took advantage of a below-par performance from stablemate Allegorie de Vassy when winning in Listed company second occasion; gets plenty of weight from that rival today and can give her a race.

7 yo Mare

Form & Verdict
Just four runs last season but put up a career-best when winning the Grand Annual Chase at Cheltenham in March; that was over 2m but she previously won a Limerick handicap over just short of this trip; gets 10lb from Allegorie De Vassy, so should run a big race.

Gave 2lb and a 6 1/2l beating to Dinoblue in last season's Grand Annual; in the frame at Listed/Grade 2 level on her three Irish outings this season but her form has been unconvincing; faded from three out when bidding to repeat her Grand Annual win; Dinoblue now 11lb superior on official ratings; hard to fancy unless addition of tongue-tie does the trick.

Saw off Dinoblue to land this race off 8lb lower on soft 12 months ago; below par when in the frame at Listed/Grade 2 level in her three outings this season but last year's winning form has been consistently advertised by the runner-up and this mare would be a danger to all if recapturing that level.
