Form & Verdict
Quite a useful hurdler; made a few mistakes when fifth in a Listed mares' event at Carlisle in November (2m4f, good to soft; 5l behind third-placed El Elefante); better run over hurdles last time; bit to find from 4lb out of the handicap.

Seemingly back in prime form when beating a subsequent Cheltenham winner at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) in December but wasn't at same level when weakening third at Stratford (2m6f, good) last month, after a break, and needs that recent run to have brought her on.

Running well over fences for her current yard this season and opened chase account in 2m3f Chepstow handicap in December (race has thrown up three subsequent winners); big shout given she has gone well after a break too.

0-6 over fences and has made a few jumping errors, but has also shown ability including in both starts for this yard; back down in grade and cheekpieces are given a go, but this sharp 2m may not be a sufficient test for her now.

Her first three chase starts yielded wins at Sedgefield (2m5f, good to soft) and Ayr (2m4f, soft); only third of four at Ayr (2m4f, soft) since but that may not be the limit of her ability; won here over hurdles and she's not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Smart hurdler/chaser who last year won the 2m7f Mayo National at Ballinrobe (2m7f, good) and finished runner-up in the Galway Plate in July (2m6f, good); not been out since pulling up in the Kerry National in September (3m, soft); obvious contender, but best form on better ground (has run creditably on heavy).

Sole win over fences came in 3m Mayo National in 2024 on good ground; good second in Galway Plate that summer but last year's form was poor; pulled up after never counting on return from long absence in Irish National; hard to be confident in although has ground to suit.
