Off the mark chasing on tenth attempt in 2m5f Clonmel mares' beginners last month (soft) but ultimately no match for a 10l winner nine days later in 2m5f Fairyhouse mares' handicap: front-runner should run her race but vulnerable.

Decent NH mare, winning a bumper and three times over hurdles at up to 3m; recent chase form not quite at same level but useful; previous two Flat runs include decent fourth in 1m7f Leopardstown amateur maiden last summer; would probably appreciate a stiffer test.

Four-time winner over hurdles; 0-8 over fences but has been running in better company than this the last twice; well-held in Grade 3 four days ago; drops to a more suitable trip but a bit to find and likely wants better ground.
