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.

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.

J: Patrick McGettigan

T: Anthony McCann

Had three seasons with Andrew Balding, including three wins, and has been with this yard since July 2023, including for two wins (one over hurdles) and plenty of place returns; third over 1m4f in her only two Flat runs in the last 13 months, including under Patrick McGettigan 17 days ago, and her very solid Flat record for this trainer suggests she will be on the premises.

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.

Got her act together over hurdles towards the end of last season with two Clonmel wins on contrasting ground; up a total of 15lb for those wins (margin roughly one length in both); chased home an easy winner at Tipperary on her seasonal debut; can be a player off this mark if jumping adequately on chase debut.

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.
