Runner-up in a Cork maiden hurdle last November but no sign of that form in three runs since; the tongue-tie will have to make a major difference. |

Now on the upgrade after a low-key start to her career; stepped up on the form of her first two handicap starts when trouncing Tango Theatre (last year's winner of this event) over 3m at Wexford 12 days ago; up 9lb, can remain competitive. |

Last won over hurdles here (2m1f, yld-sft) in August 2024; went close over C&D off 6lb higher in April 2025; below that level in just three runs since, including when beaten 26l here on latest (16.5f, good); needs a revival. |

11st 4lb |
Has shown her best form over this cross-country course, winning the 2023 Ladies' Cup and fine third in last season's La Touche; none too fluent here in November when a remote fourth and tame effort back over the conventional fences on latest at Thurles; fair bit to find to play a major role. |

1-35 over hurdles with the win coming at Kilbeggan in June (3m1f, good to yielding); some placed efforts over fences following that but tailed off over hurdles at Sligo last time (2m5f, good); hard to be confident in given her overall profile. |

Maiden was placed on a few occasions when trained by Tony Martin; flopped at Downpatrick ten days ago; her previous run at the same venue was respectable, beaten around 10l in third and in front of Sekakarma who improved on that last time. |
