Won Ballinrobe bumper last summer and winning hurdles debut in Listowel 4yo maiden in September, both on decent ground; well held in Grade 3 novices' since however, latest when when not looking to get home over 2m4f on heavy in November; back from a break and will need the ground to dry out to be at her best. |

4yo Blue Bresil filly comes from the same family as Carrigmoornaspruce; won Ballinrobe bumper in August and successful hurdles debut last month at Listowel, jumping well in the main to win with some ease in 4yo maiden (good-to-yielding); type to keep improving and Kennedy's pick but this could prove a stiff task at this stage. |

Had placed form over 6f/7f at three, but sole win came when making all over 1m7f in amateur riders' handicap at Leopardstown last summer; twice runner-up in maiden hurdles as well; this will be too sharp a test on first run since October. |

Badly hampered when finishing in mid-field on debut at the Punchestown festival; shaped well at the same venue when third behind the promising Davy Criockett (a Galway festival novice hurdle winner); failed to do himself justice when favourite at Galway; could make amends now of restored to form; Jody Townend booked. |

One of three for local yard that won this last year; not disgraced when staying on for a 22l sixth of 17 at Listowel (2m, gd-yld) on debut last month (22-1); this step up in trip looks certain to suit on that evidence and O'Keefe keeps the faith; could go well. |
