Form & Verdict
Front-running mare who has form figures of 1121 since switched to fences, the second-place finish in Listed grade at Warwick; easily justified favouritism in Fakenham handicap (2m5f) most recently, taking overall record to 5-9; progressing very well and commands respect.

Highly progressive during last season's first chase campaign, culminating in Listed mares' win at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) in February; back to her best when beaten just over 6l by Spindleberry at Doncaster (2m4f, good; Listed) in December and she's 5lb better off with the winner today; won on heavy ground over hurdles; not ruled out each-way at forecast big odds.

First season over fences could barely have gone much better with four wins from five starts, latterly in a 2m4f Listed event at Huntingdon (good to soft) which she won despite jumping out to her left throughout (previous wins were on left-handed tracks); every chance on these terms if resuming where she left off; goes from the front.

Form & Verdict
Successful in this race 12 months ago, beating La Renommee by 6l; was about the same margin behind that rival at Doncaster (back from layoff) last time, failing to complete a five-timer; however, holds a leading chance provided she bounces back from that short-priced defeat.

Trained by Willie Mullins; normally consistent and may rebound with Fairyhouse reappearance (well beaten) under her belt; recorded notable novice wins over hurdles (Listed) and fences (Grade 2) in 2023; however, has something to find with compatriot Brides Hill on the figures.

Form & Verdict
Record of 6-16 over fences; broke her Listed duck in Doncaster contest (2m4f) most recently, taking advantage of odds-on Brides Hill's below-par show; chance of following up partly depends on whether that opponent, who beat her by 6l in this event last year, is back on song.
