Form & Verdict
Won Downpatrick maiden last summer (good-to-yielding) on debut and seamless transition into handicap company on heavy at Gowran in November; stamina test may have proved beyond her over 2m4f at Limerick following month; back in trip after a break and on better ground so progress could well resume.

3-7 over hurdles but not the same level a chaser after eight attempts, okay run in 2m5f Cheltenham mares handicap in December, most recently chased home a ready 9l winner in similar Navan contest in February; 3lb wrong here so improvement needed.

Second in French bumper on debut but beaten favourite on all four starts for current yard, albeit solid runs in maidens at Tramore, Limerick and when third to a stablemate at Fairyhouse in January; better ground could help her fulfil potential here on handicap debut.

A fairly useful ex-Irish maiden hurdler for Willie Mullins; yet to match that form for her current yard, including when second in 2m1f Cartmel novice hurdle in June having travelled best for a long way; she holds very good form claims nonetheless.

Form & Verdict
Didn't need to improve to get off the mark in 2m Navan maiden last month and better in defeat over same C&D three weeks later when second in mares' handicap, possibly going too soon and outstayed in testing conditions; tough enough task here against some improving rivals.

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.

Beaten just 2l when fourth at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) earlier in the month but Friday's heavy defeat on similar ground at Exeter (extended 2m2f) takes some explaining; swaps cheekpieces for blinkers and her yard might have better prospects with Best Night.

Flat winner who was a creditable fourth on Polytrack (1m5f) on her penultimate run in February; 0-12 over hurdles but she's not had many chances in handicaps and is well treated on her best form in this sphere; needs a close look back over hurdles.
