Last year's Arkle runner-up is 4-8 over fences; won a Naas Grade 3 on her seasonal return in November; disappointed in a Grade 1 at Leopardstown a month later but back on song when chasing Dinoblue home in the Mares' Chase at Cheltenham; big player again here.

Runner-up in the Arkle here (2m, good to soft) 12 months ago and returned from a break with a game win Grade 3 against males at Naas (2m, soft) in November; unproven at today's trip and well beaten in Grade 1 against males at Leopardstown (2m1f, yielding) in December, but was badly hampered at the second fence; has an each-way shout if seeing out the distance.

Progressive mare last season; 4-6 over fences, featuring wins in Cork Grade 2 and Naas Grade 3 on return when seeing off Champ Kiely by a short head; belied her 25-1 odds when second in five-runner Arkle at Cheltenham last season when just in front of Majborough; no match for that rival when beaten 14l in 2m Grade 2 event at Punchestown; cheekpieces are reached for now.
