Won Grade 2 Arkle Trial over 2m at Cheltenham in November before finishing third in 2m1f event at Leopardstown in December; appeared not to stay the extended 2m4f in the Grade 2 mares' chase at the Cheltenham Festival; however, she was placed in a Grade 1 hurdle around this distance in France two seasons ago.

Made it 2-2 over fences in the Grade 2 Arkle Trial here (2m, soft) in November before finishing third in Grade 1 Racing Post Novice Chase at Leopardstown in December (2m1f, yielding; albeit no match for the first two); has won over 2m4f but faded up the hill in the 2m4f Mares' Hurdle here 12 months ago; probably needs a career-best performance if she's to run into a place.

Won a Grade 1 AQPS event in France at three; useful hurdler last term, won a 2m4f Grade 3 mares' event at this venue, fifth in the Mares' Hurdle at Cheltennham; 2-2 over fences; gave a polished display at Limerick (2m3f, yielding to soft); coped well with drop in trip and rise in class when landing 2m Grade 2 contest at Cheltenham.

Won a Grade 1 bumper in France and made into a useful hurdler last term, finishing fifth in the Mares' Hurdle here in March; jumped well in the main when making a successful chasing debut at Limerick (2m3f, yielding to soft) last month in convincing style; has done most of her racing over further than 2m but is not short of speed; the Limerick win suggests she can take high rank among this season's novice chasers and she's the one to beat today.

Dual bumper winner in France including a Grade 1 event and also won two hurdle races there; won a Leopardstown Grade 3 hurdle on second spell with this yard and respectable efforts in Grade 1 mares' races since; should be too good for these if jumping adequately on chasing debut.
