Both chase wins have been over further and hasn't won in over two years; impossible task at weights in veterans' handicap at this course when last seen but still hard to make a case for.

Two-time chase winner is 1-17 over timber; took advantage of lower hurdles mark at Downpatrick (2m6f, good) in March, beating Joueuse Royale by 2.25l; in contention when falling in a Tramore handicap chase latest off 102; 5lb lower here and could go well back returned to hurdles.

Went out on her shield after making a bold bid in a Roscommon handicap chase (21.5f, good) latest; is 2lb below her last winning hurdles mark and could be dangerous if she's given too much rope in front.
