Beat Hascoeur Clermont by 5l over 3m1f on good at Roscommon in June on debut for Paul Flynn and only 4lb higher than that day should he rediscover some spark in the new cheekpieces (was behind Bella Bliss the last time). |

In decent form over hurdles and fences this year and only 1lb higher than for latest gallant second in a 2m5f handicap chase at Roscommon; stays this far. |

Good second at Cartmel (2m5f, good) on latest chase start in June and placed in big-field handicap hurdles on next two outings; below form when tried in cheekpieces (now removed) for latest hurdling start but has a significant role to play if all goes to plan here. |

Point winner didn't score over hurdles but was a beginners' chase winner last summer and a decent handicap run next time; needs to be ready back after a break. |

Only 3lb higher than when winning this on soft ground last year; good run over hurdles on her return to action in July and fair fifth in handicap chase of a similar standard to this last time. |

6th Sep 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 40y |

Rated 121 over hurdles after two 2m wins in heavy ground; five attempts chasing have yielded thirds both Tramore and Wexford over same trip but didn't convince over 2m6f at former venue last time; back in trip slightly for handicap debut. |

Boasts a fair record over hurdles, 2-12, placed three times; struggling to make an impact over fences before unplaced hurdles run on latest; stable's two other runners are more appealing. |

First reserve; Sligo maiden hurdle winner in 2024; not a bad run on return from a break at Clonmel latest and handicapper giving her a chance, but stamina a query over this trip. |

Front-runner's sole win came in 2m2f Sligo mares' maiden in 2024 (good), good second in Limerick handicap over a year ago off 99; 0-10 chasing and well held back hurdling when last seen in October; ground to suit, don't rule out off this reduced mark. |

Relatively consistent for this sort of grade and finished runner-up in 16-runner handicap hurdle at Tipperary last week behind progressive rival; up 2lb but she's capable of getting involved again. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 120y |

2-13 over hurdles; close third at Down Royal when last seen in this discipline in November (3m, good to yielding); two second-placed finishes in handicap chases following that but her run last time at Limerick in a first-time tongue-tie was her worst in a long time; that headgear now removed. |

Went out on her shield after making a bold bid in a Roscommon handicap chase (21.5f, good) latest; is 2lb below her last winning hurdles mark and could be dangerous if she's given too much rope in front. |

Hurdles winner last summer and creditable effort on second chase start when not beaten far at Wexford (2m3f); is up a good bit in grade and 2lb wrong. |

Locally-trained mare won over 2m3f at Cork last year and twice ran well afterwards, including here; hasn't sparked at all this year though, and going up in grade hardly a help. |
