Form & Verdict
Some promise on sole Flat outing in August before switched to hurdles, well held at Listowel but showed more in first-time hood at Cork when staying on well into third, having lost momentum when stumbling two out; surely capable of better again and along with Prairie Angel provides a strong challenge for the Joseph O'Brien yard.

Useful winning hurdler; third (1m1f) and fourth (1m4f) in two maidens this summer, last time beaten at odds-on; still appeals as one of the more likelier winners.

Fair hurdler, winning Ballinrobe mares maiden in May (good) and solid run there on Flat last week when clear third in 1m2f maiden; extra 2f here should suit and major player.

Showed some ability on sole Flat start last year; has accumulated plenty of experience over hurdles since then; placed four times and fourth in a competitive Punchestown handicap hurdle before readily landing the odds in a maiden at this venue late last month; good middle-distance Flat pedigree.

Form & Verdict
Modest on the Flat (rated 55), penultimate Roscommon handicap second (1m4f, soft) her best run; needs to improve plenty for switch of codes although yard does well with juvenile hurdlers.
