    2-11 over fences; rated 13lb higher over hurdles; ran well when second in Grade 3 novice here in October (War Correspondent third); has disappointed at Fairyhouse and when pulled up over C&D since returning from a break; needs to leave those efforts behind.

    Very useful hurdler, two wins and third in 2024 Cheltenham Mares' Novices Hurdle; took a while to find her form over fences but won at Killarney and Listowel last year, absent since decent second in Grade 3 Punchestown novice in October; has run well fresh so respected on return although trip on the short side.

    T: Henry De Bromhead

    Very useful hurdler, two wins and a third in the 2024 Cheltenham Mares' Novices Hurdle; took a while to find her form over fences before winning readily at Killarney in May; well beaten in fourth Grade 3 novice chase at Galway; had an excuse at Killarney, restored to form at Listowel; mares' allowance gives her a fighting chance against King Of Kingsfield.

    J: Darragh O’Keeffe

    T: Henry De Bromhead

    Some good hurdles form with two wins and a third in the 2024 Cheltenham mares' hurdle; improved over moderate first three chase starts to score an easy 7l victory at Killarney in May (2m5f, yielding); well beaten in Grade 3 novice chase at Galway and tailed off in a Killarney Listed handicap chase (2m5f, good to yielding) when reported to have lost a shoe last time; something to prove now but O'Keeffe remains loyal.
