Started 11/4 but tailed odd in a bumper on debut in 2024; found to be lame afterwards; second in a 2m5f Limerick maiden hurdle on return from 471 days away; quicker ground today and down in trip but a repeat of that will make her a big player back in this sphere.

Half-sister to several French winner, notably high-class hurdler/chaser up to 3m4f Yala Enki; returned from lengthy absence to finish decent second in 2m6f Limerick mares' maiden hurdle in April (soft) and earlier this month chased all-the-way winner for much of the way in 2m2f Downpatrick mares bumper on good ground; return to 2m4f to suit and should go well.

Runner-up on sole point start; fair form in bumpers, notably when second at Cork in March; the better of two maiden hurdle runs when a staying-on third over 2m at Fairyhouse in April; outpaced in a 2m2f bumper at Downpatrick in May; this trip should suit better.

Runner-up in a point, and in a 2m Cork bumper last season before finishing in mid-division in a competitive 2m4f mares' bumper at this venue; did not appear again until odds-on favourite for a maiden at Catterick a month ago; failed to threaten a 15l winner; may do better in a stronger-run contest.

Modest efforts in two bumpers last autumn; more like it when a staying-on fifth of 9 over this C&D (good) on latest in first-time cheekpieces (retained); place claims if backing up that run.

Order Of St George mare well held on debut (too keen) in Cork bumper a year ago for Pat Turley, reappearing for current yard early this month at Downpatrick when never sighted in first-time hood; probably best watched for now.

Huge odds and ran accordingly in a trio of bumpers, including over this C&D the last twice; seems safe to rule out.
