Brought off an 80-1 shock at Kilbeggan last autumn when fitted with cheekpieces for the first time; remote seventh at Limerick early this month after a break; got a lot closer to the same winner when fifth at Kilbeggan the following week. |

Brought off an 80-1 shock over C&D last autumn when fitted with cheekpieces for the first time; after a lengthy break, she may have needed last week's race when a remote seventh behind Knocknagoran Lady at Limerick; first reserve. |

Doubled her hurdles tally at Kilbeggan in September (3m1f, good) off 5lb lower in first-time cheekpieces at 80-1; pulled up at Listowel when last seen later that month (2m6f, good to yielding); hard to trust, especially back from an absence. |

Went up 9lb for winning a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Killarney in August; soundly beaten in three starts since and she should find this trip on the sharp side. |

All three hurdle wins have come at this venue, the last one in 2025; pulled up over C&D in May; was in the process of running a good race when falling in the lead two from home at Clonmel last month; 10yo mare could go well if suffering no ill effects. |

Won twice over fences and respectable effort when fourth from lower hurdles mark back in May; tailed off on recent return but that can be forgiven over insufficient two miles; best form over a bit further than this. |

Dual chase winner who is rated lower over hurdles and was beaten under 5l last time at Ballinrobe; that was in May so she lacks a run, but has each-way claims. |

Maiden who was big prices and well held throughout 2025; goes without regular headgear but hard to foresee a good run from out of the weights. |

Pulled up on both outings this season (2m4f/2m7f) and now 0-29 over hurdles; drops back to about 2m and swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor here; very difficult to enthuse over. |

Better hurdler than a chaser, and her last three runs over fences do nothing to dispute that; pulled up at Roscommon on her return. |
