Form & Verdict
Won a mares' maiden hurdle at Sligo last summer and respectable effort in a handicap off 115 on her penultimate start; tough ask in a mares' novice hurdle at Fairyhouse since though and has another tough assignment at the weights in this contest.

Sligo maiden hurdle winner in August of last year (17.5f, soft); soundly beaten in mares' hurdles at Bellewstown (2m1f, good) and Listowel (2m4f, yld-sft) the last twice; could rebound back in handicap company but stamina to prove.

Lowest rated of the bunch; sole win came in a Downpatrick mares' maiden hurdle last year (2m1f, soft); has been chasing in recent times with little success; back over hurdles at Bellewstown late last month when beaten 17l by Adela Icon; hard to see her turning that around.

J: Jack Kennedy

Odds-on for mares' maiden hurdle win at Sligo last summer; made the frame in mares' events at Listowel and Kilbeggan this summer; none too fluent and faded tamely on chase debut at Wexford last month; two moderate chase runs since then; question to answer.

Form & Verdict
Won a maiden hurdle at Cork in November and has had tough assignments in the big festivals at Cheltenham and Punchestown in last two starts; this is a bit more realistic but she still needs improvement to come out on top.

1-8 over hurdles and rated 118; modest efforts in first two chases at Fairyhouse when beaten 17l and Wexford when beaten 40l, both last October; off since and this is an easier race; yard continues in hot form so she can't be discounted.

One of two for trainer; hasn't looked like adding to her Cork maiden hurdle win in six starts since then and was 17l behind on chase debut at Fairyhouse (2m, yielding); Magic Day appears the pick of the stable's pair.

1-8 over hurdles and rated 118; won a Cork maiden hurdle (16.5f, good) last November; highly tried at times afterwards to no avail and modest effort on latest in a Bellewstown mares' hurdle; Full Of Life looks yard's main hope.

Form & Verdict
Punchestown bumper winner on debut and winning return in a maiden hurdle back there in January this year; lost ground at the start in the Dawn Run at Cheltenham but was only a distant fifth in the Grade 1 Honeysuckle mares' novice hurdle at Fairyhouse last month; travelled well for a long way in that race and drop in trip here may help but gives weight to a rival with a higher rating (Royal Eagle).

Bumper winner; highly tried to no avail after a maiden hurdle win at Punchestown in January; didn't jump fluently when last seen in a Listowel mares' hurdle in May; steps up in trip and makes handicap debut; respected given who trains her but others appeal more.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up in two Listed mares' hurdles last season including a narrow defeat to Jetara at Limerick (2m7f, good) in October before a 10l defeat at Wetherby; sets the standard on those runs and probably needed her return at Killarney on the back of six months off earlier this month; leading claims.

Dual-purpose mare won over hurdles at this meeting in 2022 and took her fifth race in that sphere at Listowel in May; beaten 6l on chasing debut at Tipperary since and will have to improve plenty from that.

Dual-purpose chasing debutante is 5-21 over timber and rated 130; modest run on the Flat at Ballinrobe last week; not an obvious candidate for chasing on breeding but she will be well-schooled and can't be discounted.
