Form & Verdict

T: Martin Hassett

Versatile mare gained a first Flat win over C&D at the 22nd attempt last month (Lariat 1.25l behind); ran to her mark over fences at Wexford last time; returns to the scene of her victory 4lb higher and could go well.

T: Martin Hassett

Versatile mare scored on the Flat at Tramore (2m, good) on her latest outing; her sole win from five chase starts came in in this race last year (good) off 107; 5lb higher here but arrives in form and can't be discounted.

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.

Heavy-ground bumper winner whose hurdle runs have been on better ground, notably all-the-way win in 2m2f Cork novice in May; very disappointing chase debut at Tramore later in month, dropping out tamely once headed two out; much better than that and remains of interest but won't get a soft lead here.
