Both wins came at this trip, most recently at Down Royal in 2024 off 64 under today's rider; absent since moderate second in 2m Tramore handicap hurdle a year ago so may need this. |

2-2 in French bumpers; 2-10 and rated 130 over hurdles; fine second in Grade 2 novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.5f, good) in October; tailed off in rated hurdle when last seen at Fairyhouse in November; that was too bad to be true and his dam won over fences so could improve for switch to chasing but stamina to prove for this trip. |

12st 0lb |
Useful on Flat and has quickly reached a similar level over hurdles, posting a career best when first past the post in a big field at Aintree's Grand National meeting (2m, good to soft) only to be disqualified for a whip offence; seeks compensation but a 6lb higher mark will make things tougher. |

Very useful on the Flat; lightly raced over hurdles and bounced back from heavy defeat in the Greatwood with 11l fifth of 17 in competitive handicap at Leopardstown (2m, yielding) in December; that latest form has received a couple of firm boosts and this Irish challenger has each-way claims. |

She's thrived this season and made it 3-5 for the yard (wins at 1m7f-2m1f on good to soft/heavy) when winning big-field mares' novice handicap at Kelso four weeks ago; from out of the handicap she's 12lb higher today back against males but it remains to be seen where her limitations lie. |

Winning hurdler is 0-5 over fences but has run well in defeat at times; fine second behind subsequent Ayr premier handicap winner Moudan at Navan on penultimate (2m1f, sft-hvy); 20.5f may have stretched at Kilbeggan latest; drops back in trip now but would ideally prefer softer ground. |
