Out of form over hurdles/on the Flat in Ireland last year; caused 16-1 surprise in point at Hutton Rudby (3m, soft) last month, her third start for this stable, but was safely held on next outing; not easy to predict on chase debut.

Dual-purpose mare is 0-18 on the Flat but latest two runs have been good, finishing close third over C&D (yielding) and staying on third over 2m1f at Thurles earlier this month; one to consider.

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.

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.

Dual-purpose maiden has been placed twice over hurdles including over 2m here last month; was poor in first-time cheekpieces at Cork since but can do better with the headgear left off today.

Dual-purpose maiden; extended hurdles record to 0-8 at Tramore 11 days ago but it wasn't a bad run in third; was still beaten over 7l, however, so needs more off the same mark here with cheekpieces added.
