Mare has two hurdle wins to her name and got off the mark over fences when a comfortable winner at Tramore last time against her own sex; this is much more competitive.

T: Dermot A McLoughlin

Career-best performance in a Navan handicap hurdle on penultimate start when comfortably beating a subsequent winner (2m, soft); failed to build on that last time at Fairyhouse; she is capable of playing a role if putting her best foot forward on first try over fences.

Won two of first three starts over fences, a beginners' at Downpatrick (19.5f, yld-sft) and a Kilbeggan handicap chase (20.5f, good) off 6lb lower; tame effort when pulled up over hurdles on latest and needs to rebound in first-time visor.

Second off 2lb higher than this in a handicap hurdle at Tipperary last October (2m, good); form tailed off after; relished the switch to fences when scoring at Downpatrick in March; put a below-par Cork run behind him with a course handicap chase win in May; could feature off a mark 10lb lower than his revised chase rating.

Placed all three bumper starts for John McConnell, including Cheltenham third in October where he was a neck off a Skelton horse who has won three hurdles since and is now rated 137; after six months off, unplaced in a Kilbeggan bumper on stable debut; good third of 17 on hurdling debut at Listowel in late May; not much of note behind him, but winner had landed a bumper impressively and runner-up was sixth in the Asoct Stakes next time.

Flat-bred likes good ground and had some good runs in defeat in bumpers; easily won Bellewstown maiden hurdle in July; had an excuse (scoped wrong) when bombed out as favourite for a Galway handicap; reassuring display when third over 2m1f at Down Royal a week ago, where he just ran out of steam late on having travelled well; easy two miles here should suit.
