Chance here with fitness advanced by a hurdles run at Fairyhouse; went close against Trubshaw in a small-field Sligo event last August; probably a better effort third of 23 over 1m6f here in October.

Smart pedigree and third in two of her maidens; below her best when gradually weakened into sixth at the Curragh last time; makes handicap debut now and of interest if supported in the market.

Fair hurdles form in 2022; has done most of his racing on the Flat in recent years; second at Clonmel last September has been the only bright spot in that sphere since a 2024 Chester win; found his level when winning in this category at Wexford 13 days ago; should be the mix again.
