A pretty consistent horse compared to many of these; doesn't look particularly well treated as a result though and this trip is a shot in the dark; player if she improves for it.

Five career wins include this race in 2024 (off 101) and 2m6f handicap chase at this fixture last year; light campaign this year, pick being Roscommon claiming hurdle second, most recently beaten when unseating two out in 3m Galway handicap hurdle; has to be respected given 10yo's record here.

5-40 under rules, three of those have come in chases, the latest at Tramore last summer (2m6f, good); yet to hit form this year although recent 9l second to Rocky's Howya in 3m Roscommon claiming hurdle was a step in the right direction and enjoys an 8lb pull in the weights with that rival back in handicap company.
