Flat winner for Joseph O'Brien, gradually progressive in four runs for his current trainer, most recently when runner-up to a useful sort in a Limerick maiden hurdle last month; may find the market leaders too hot to handle here but should get into the money. |

Decent record over hurdles, winning two and placing in two more out of eight runs; latest win came at Galway (2m1f, good) in July off 8lb lower when aided by a strong pace to help her settle; off since then before returning with a cracking run on the Flat at Leopardstown six days ago when running on well for second on good to yielding ground; key player. |

Justified strong market support when scoring by 12l on debut for this yard at Bellewstown (2m5f, good) in July; has struggled off 16lb higher mark in three runs since; may need some help from the handicapper. |

Dual hurdle winner last year including here and is rated 135 in that sphere; looks well-in off a low Flat mark but was well beaten at Galway last time so has to do much more; cheekpieces might help. |
