10st 3lb |
Sole win in 25 starts came at Cork (2m1f, good) a year ago; back on that mark but poor on last hurdles run at Punchestown and pulled up over fences here last month; capable but needs to shrug off latest effort. |

Wexford specialist with both of her wins coming there, the most recent of which was in May off 81 (2m1f, good); again ran well there last time when a 3.5l third (2m1f, good to yielding); remains 9lb above last win but she is in good form |

Second reserve; couldn't take advantage of a 7lb lower chase mark here last month when a close third of 12 (2m, good); returned to hurdles at Cork last time when a well beaten fifth (2m1f, good); she likes this track with both of her wins coming here so not discounted if getting a run. |

Has won two of her last three starts; scored over 2m2f (good) at Downpatrick in July and went in again at Tramore (16.5f, good) two weeks ago despite not jumping fluently at times; should go well again off 5lb higher. |
