No match for Marsh Wren at Thurles last week but has been given a decent mark for her handicap chase debut back down in class; handles the ground and shorter trip is fine too; shortlisted.

No threat to front pair when third in recent Ulster National (a race she won last year) at Downpatrick (3m4f, good) but that was still a pretty good effort and she remains on a workable mark; considered each-way.

Has really got her act together over fences in recent starts, going close at Naas before a beginners' success at Punchestown and hit the crossbar having been given too much to do back at that venue latest; clearly thriving and cheekpieces may eke out more.

Last win over fences came in 2021; made a bad error when a distant fourth at Down Royal on St Stephen's Day and pulled up since; good mark if she can get back to her best but questions to answer now.

Went close on her reappearance at Roscommon but seems to have lost her way since and this trip may be on the short side for her these days; needs to bounce back.
