Six-time winner over jumps (five of those coming over hurdles); getting on in years now, but holds a good chance on current form; not a bad effort on the Flat at Tramore before two decent handicap hurdle runs, third over 2m3f at Kilbeggan and second over 2m1f at Wexford.

Form & Verdict
Didn't need to improve when getting off the mark at odds on in a C&D maiden hurdle three weeks ago; won that race with plenty in hand and the assessor hasn't gone overboard with her opening mark; yard's first-string.

Useful form in bumpers; has picked up plenty of hurdling experience, notching wins at Navan in March and last month when readily landing odds in poorly-contested 2m2f Kilbeggan mares' event; only caught late in Sligo mares' handicap over same trip; soundly beaten in four-runner mares' event at Killarney; officially rated on a par with Gale Mahler.

Second runner for James Nash; dual-purpose mare has won twice over hurdles; maiden in this sphere but her fourth to You Make Me Smile in last year's renewal was one of her best Flat runs and she has a nice pull at the weights; place chance.

Form & Verdict
Perhaps a shade unlucky just to have one win from 15 starts under rules; won at Thurles earlier in the year and bounced back from a poor run when runner-up in a novice hurdle at Punchestown earlier this month; shaped like she may want a step back up in trip but can give another good account; Kennedy seems to prefer Instant Tendance.
