Returned from a 326-day absence at Ballinrobe last July to make the breakthrough at the seventh time of asking over hurdles (2m6f, good) with easy win; took a mammoth 16lb rise for that and duly struggled at Roscommon in final start for Noel Kelly in August (3m, good to yielding); down 3lb for stable debut. |

17-race maiden was a decent third over fences at Sligo in October; not a bad effort when two places behind Navy Waves on return at Cork; entitled to come on for that effort. |

Maiden was a decent third over fences at Sligo in October but failed to back that up in two starts the following month; 13l fourth in this last year but had the benefit of a recent run; might need this after a break. |

Sole success came in a maiden hurdle in 2023; has run well in handicaps off higher marks than this; stayed on late for fifth over 2m6f (good) at Ballinrobe last time out in first-time cheekpieces (retained); dropped 2lb and could go well stepped back up to 3m. |

Maiden hurdle winner at Thurles also ran well in 2m7f handicaps at Punchestown off 100 mark early last year (soft); lightly raced and well below best this past winter but entitled to come on from recent Cork comeback run and is down to a dangerous-looking mark. |

A fair winning Irish hurdler but she's been off the track since posting a respectable eighth of 20 in 3m Down Royal handicap in October; she needs to hit the ground running on her chase debut here. |

AW winner is a maiden over timber; hasn't built on decent maiden hurdle second at this venue back in handicap company at 2m6f and 3m the last twice; this drop in trip should suit but lots more needed. |

All maiden hurdle runs came here and she showed precious little in those; tailed off in a Perth novice hurdle in July and well behind on handicap debut at Ballinrobe later that month (2m6f, good); down 2lb but she would be a surprising winner. |
