Point winner and placed in a bumper; showed little over hurdles; a switch to chasing in the second half of last season produced improvement; twice placed before winning when sent back over hurdles at Cork in May; definite chance here on return if she is fit enough and handles the ground. |

Two-time winner over timber on soft ground; 0-10 in chases and rated 9lb lower in this sphere but hasn't looked like a winner in waiting on most recent chase starts; beaten 38l in a handicap hurdle at Naas latest; did run well here over 2m4f last April but he would prefer softer ground. |

Two wins over hurdles on soft; 0-9 over fences since January 2024 which has resulted in connections trying hurdles again; looks fairly treated on the pick of his form in this sphere but he's risky. |
