11st 8lb |
Some placed form in maiden hurdles on heavy ground before making immediate impact on handicap debut at Leopardstown (2m3f, soft to heavy) off 108; creditable second on chasing debut at Downpatrick last time (2m4f, yielding to soft); new headgear goes on and she's a player, although has never encountered this better ground. |

Runner-up in both maiden hurdles last season; looked in need of the run on return in decent company at Naas in December; bounced back from a poor Naas run when making a winning handicap debut at Leopardstown; has the scope to make a chaser; noteworthy she is seen straight over fences now after that success. |

Runner-up in both maiden hurdles last season; looked in need of the run on return in decent company at Naas in December (2m, soft to heavy); poor effort at Fairyhouse last time when tailed off (2m4f, soft); in the mix on her best form for h'cap debut but needs to show it. |

Rated 99 over hurdles; promising fourth in Leopardstown novice handicap hurdle (2m3f, soft to heavy) in March before lesser effort at this venue; respectable fourth of 15 at Cork (2m3f, good) 12 days ago; 0-2 in points but bred to be a chaser; player. |

Placed four times over hurdles but had been out of form (largely over fences) until a close third at 66-1 over 2m here on St Stephen's Day (yielding) on handicap hurdle debut; up 3lb for that but chance if he can back it up; slight question mark on this ground. |
