11st 11lb |
In the form of her life; has won three of her last four, her only defeat coming on softer ground at Roscommon; 8lb rise for a 2.75l win at Down Royal on latest (3m, good) partly negated by rider's claim; should go well again, though is yet to win going left-handed. |

Back-to-back wins at Limerick and Kilbeggan (3m1f) in early July and maybe soft ground was to blame when fourth at Roscommon; visor swapped for blinkers. |

Had plenty to spare when scoring a breakthrough win over an extended 2m6f at Limerick; a wind operation seems to have done the trick, and she was able to defy a 9lb rise when scoring readily at Kilbeggan; has gone up by the same amount again, fair prospects of completing a hat-trick. |

Inconsistent maiden; hard to predict, but has four seconds to his name, including when chasing home in-form mare (third won since) at Down Royal in August; bombed at Clonmel last week. |

Still a maiden at the ripe age of nine but bounced right back to form when runner-up at Down Royal (3m, good), staying on from rear; the third has franked the form; big player with a repeat from 2lb higher. |

Quiet over hurdles after finishing second in 2m4f bumper; ran well in 2m4f beginners' chase here in April when third to pair of rivals rated 130+, hence he has a mark of 110 over fences; first handicap hurdle run here off 94; tongue-tie. |

Dual handicap hurdle winner, latest at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good) in September off 1lb lower, beating very well-treated Rising Dust; not gone on from that but more positive run at Kilbeggan last month; tame effort over shorter last time and is at his best over further. |
