Runner-up in a 24-runner contest at last season's Punchestown festival; unlike the winner, who has let the form down, she has prospered in winning mares' races at Listowel and Cheltenham; strong chance despite having to concede 4lb to all her rivals.

Half-sister to Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Al Boum Photo has won bumpers at Sligo and more recently at Punchestown in June; promising start over hurdles following month when forcing most of pace in finishing third behind a stablemate in 2m6f Galway maiden; down in trip here against her own sex and major player with possible race-fitness edge.

Half-sister to Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Al Boum Photo won at Sligo last summer (good) before finishing second against some useful geldings at Galway; reappeared at the festival here in April when not far off the placed horses in Grade 3 won impressively by a stablemate; plenty of decent mares behind her then.

Form & Verdict
Did well to beat the geldings on debut in Goffs Defender Bumper at this meeting last year (yielding), but had run nowhere near that level on softer ground until much more encouraging effort at Fairyhouse early this month when staying-on second to Belladaball in mares' Listed contest (yielding-to-soft); same terms here so more needed, but better ground to suit.

Second runner for Willie Mullins; course bumper winner; 3l second in Listed bumper at Fairyhouse in April; built on Galway third when never-nearer third of 18 on handicap debut at Listowel (18.5f, good); 2lb higher; should appreciate the step up in trip.
