Two hurdle wins include 2m2f handicap here last summer off 103, more recently won Clonmel beginners' chase in March; recent hurdles form however leaves her with plenty to find.

Form & Verdict
Point-to-point winner off the mark under rules in 2m3f Cork maiden a year ago but well held both starts afterwards at Punchestown, weakening on testing ground second occasion; could have more to offer back on suitable ground but may not get it here on return from a 16-month absence.

Point-to-point winner off the mark under rules in 2m3f maiden here a year ago but well held both starts afterwards; 2m6f possibly stretched her stamina on recent comeback run so not one to rule out back at 2m4f here on better ground.

J: Jack Kennedy

Sligo bumper winner who got off the mark over hurdles at Kilbeggan (3m1f, yielding) last summer; this season's form has been poor and she was beaten out of sight around here twice; top yard but percentage call is to oppose.

7 yo Mare

OR: 118

Form & Verdict
Bumper winner on debut at Galway in 2022; lightly raced since, some good runs in defeat in maiden hurdles before running away with ordinary 2m4f Leopardstown mares' maiden last month when dictating pace on soft-to-heavy; sharp 2m6f here should suit but stiffest task yet on handicap debut.
