Form & Verdict
Killarney maiden hurdle winner last early last season; returned to form on both recent chase attempts in mares' beginners' contests when second at Wexford (2m) and Tramore (2m6f) on good ground, tongue-tied second occasion; big player with that experience under her belt although good bit inferior to Mozzies Sister over hurdles.

Killarney mares' maiden hurdle winner in May 2024; added a 2m7f Ballinrobe mares' beginners' chase (soft) last September; runner up off higher marks in last two handicap hurdle starts (in 2024) but off since pulling up in a Thurles handicap chase in January; probably best watched.

Point winner has been running consistently over fences this season, runner-up in two mares' beginners' before a comfortable win at Ballinrobe in September (2m7f, soft); outclassed in Graded company, but in between those efforts she ran respectably in a four-runner contest around here in October when third; makes handicap chase debut now.

Form & Verdict
Has won a point-to-point, two bumpers and a maiden hurdle on varying ground; highly tried since that maiden win, placed several times in Graded company at up to 2m6f; outpaced by sole rival in 2m2f Cork conditions event on returning from a break last month which should have set her up nicely for this chase debut (yard had an impressive chase debut winner at Galway on Monday).

Top-rated at 132; 1-7 over hurdles; highly tried after Galway maiden win last October; failed to win but ran well in defeat in listed, grade 2 and grade 1 company at 2m4f-2m7f; below par on chase debut at Ballinrobe on latest but she's the one to beat on return to this sphere.

A maiden in 18 starts, four over fences, but put in three fair efforts over fences last year, most notably when second to Hit The Frame at Wexford, before being pulled up at this track over hurdles 177 days ago; 5lb out of the handicap off basement mark here but could go well.

Point-to-point winner and off the mark hurdling in 2m6f Punchestown handicap last winter (soft); absent since out of depth in Grade 3 Limerick mares' novice in March and this looks tough enough on chase debut.
