Maiden hurdle was her only win from 14 races for Willie Mullins; placed on five of nine attempts over fences, mostly running well last season but she flopped when favourite for a 3m4f handicap on final start, with first-fence mistake playing a part; fetched 25,000gns in April and has similar form to most of these, plus more chasing experience.

Useful Flat performer, winning three times and placing on a further nine occasions from 17 turf starts; took third at Gowran in April (1m4f, soft) and went one place better when beaten a neck at Musselburgh next time (2m, good); has often been frustrating, as shown by hurdles record 1-20; second eight times.

Record of 1-19 over timber; three-time winner on the Flat has placed in two starts in that sphere since falling over hurdles at Leopardstown in March; recent form suggests she's fit and healthy but poor strike rate over hurdles is off-putting.

Useful Flat form; ran well when runner-up in a 3yo maiden hurdle here but not as good at Punchestown since and has a bit to find on form.

Was in the process of running a big race when coming down late at Cork on her return and gained compensation in 2m2f Downpatrick maiden in July, battling well after making much of running; missed two engagements since due to softer ground so won't want too much rain.

Off the mark over fences at the ninth attempt in a 1m7f handicap at Tramore (in cheekpieces) and then narrowly followed up back over hurdles (no headgear); higher mark to contend with but she's a thriving mare with a feather weight.

Placed twice over hurdles two seasons ago; moderate form over fences until much improved when second at Wexford in March on her stable debut; was well backed then, and recovered losses when even-money favourite at Tramor last month; excellent chance off a similarly low hurdles mark; stable in form.

Produced her best handicap run to date on stable debut in a Wexford chase (19.5f, soft) on latest when attracting market support; 3lb higher now but this shorter trip should suit on that evidence; chance.
