Four of her six chase wins have come at this track but she has been mostly well below her best lately and others appeal more.

Six-time chase winner whose most recent win came over C&D last September off 126; tailed off behind Marv Michael here last month, much better effort when third in 2m3f Listowel conditions event latest, despite racing keenly; can't rule out but others probably more progressive.

Front-running mare has been in fine form, four wins included 2m4f hurdle win here; handicapper seems to have her measure hurdling but scope remains off chase mark, recent Killarney third was a solid run; 4lb wrong here but can't be ruled out, especially if getting a soft lead.
