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).

Talented dual-purpose performer is only 1-8 on the Flat but brought her mark to a career-high at Ballinrobe last month when just denied close home in fillies' handicap over 1m5f; quick ground a slight concern, big player if handling it.

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.

Ran surprisingly well behind the classy Murcia in a mares' hurdle at Listowel (2m, good) last month but she struggled back in handicap chase last time; now returns to hurdling but she's hard to predict and her last win was in October 2024; others are more convincing.

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.
