No win over fences since 2023 but is in good heart; beaten a neck at Kilbeggan (20.5, good) last month and beaten 15l into fifth in Galway Blazers eight days ago, may have made a better go of it but for being caught in a pocket between the final two fences; his third start in just over two weeks but chance if he doesn't feel the effects of that.

Hasn't won over fences since 2023 but comes into this in good form; beaten just a neck in a Kilbeggan handicap chase (20.5f, good) on latest; raised 1lb for that and this is tougher but has run well on both previous visits to this venue so not totally discounted.

Both wins for this yard have come on rain softened ground at around 2m4f; had been in decent form over timber before pulling up at Killarney last time (2m7f, good, jockey reported never travelled); may need softer ground.

In fine form, winning over 2m4f at Punchestown festival and good efforts off much higher marks since, chasing home an 8l winner over this trip at Ballinrobe and not quite getting home over 3m1f when third at Kilbeggan last month; trip/ground okay and should go well again.

Not a super attractive profile with a record of 1-24 over hurdles but she has been running some nice races recently; returned to the scene of her sole win when beaten a neck at Clonmel in June (2m4f, good to yielding); went close again at Listowel last time when 0.5l behind the winner; just needs that bit more and perhaps the added tongue tie can help.
