J: Paul Townend

T: W P Mullins

Grade 1 juvenile winner at Aintree (2m1f, gd-sft) in April 2025; best run last season when fourth at Leopardstown in February; struggled in valuable handicaps at three festivals, with soft ground probably to blame; regained the winning thread in mares' race at Listowel in May; beaten favourite for a similar race at Killarney; Paul Townend's choice, has to be taken seriously.

Grade 1 winner at Aintree (2m1f, gd-sft) in April 2025; regained the winning thread in mares' race at Listowel (16.5f, good) on latest (Grainne A Chroi 6.25l behind); the one to beat on ratings, but has never run beyond 2m1f so she has stamina to prove (mixed messages in pedigree).

Versatile mare who landed a C&D maiden a year ago; good form this year, ran a cracker when second to Deressa off 4lb lower at Ballinrobe in June; Galway Hurdle run can be ignored and holds each-way chance.

Useful mare won a Grade 3 at Punchestown in February (2m4f, soft); outclassed in Grade 2 at Fairyhouse before finishing a 6.25l third behind Murcia over inadequate trip at Listowel (16.5f, good) on latest; this trip more her bag and may close the gap; any rain would be a plus.

Point, bumper and maiden hurdle winner who has 12l to find with Echoing Silence on their Punchestown meeting in December and there were no clear excuses, other than the heavy ground perhaps finding her out; even if happier on this surface (she has won on good to yielding and yielding to soft), she'll probably be feeling the heat when it matters.
