Form & Verdict

Bought for £120,000 after point-to-point win; confirmed herself a nice prospect when winning 2m4f Punchestown maiden hurdle (2m4f, heavy) and by no means disgraced when upped hugely in class in steadily-run 2m Grade 2 mares' novice at Cheltenham festival; one to consider now switched to fences.

Form & Verdict

Sole win came in heavy-ground Fairyhouse maiden hurdle in February, coming up short in Grade 1 company; faller two out when in lead on second chase start at Tramore before finishing clear second (of four) to a smart type over 3m at Fairyhouse last month; steadily getting her act together chasing and should be thereabouts.

Form & Verdict

Point/bumper winner; made winning start over hurdles at Punchestown before predictably struggling in two Grade 1s (2m4f/3m); sister to three chase winners so should be capable of making an impact in this sphere although appears one of the lesser likely of the Mullins' runners here.

Classy sort on the Flat although below best when last seen in Naas Listed in October 2023; had previously readily won over hurdles at Killarney; Back on Flat now after a smooth maiden hurdle win at Killarney; Flat-bred makes chasing debut here and may just need the run.
