11st 9lb

J: John Shinnick

T: W P Mullins

One of three for trainer; beaten favourite in all four beginners' chase starts, the latest of which when 33l behind at Wexford after some jumps lacking in fluency; hard to trust and probably wants softer, but she's dangerous if putting it all together.

11st 5lb

J: Harry Cobden

T: W P Mullins

130-rated hurdler; fair efforts on first two chase runs, though was beaten by longer-priced stablemate Port Joulain at Fairyhouse in January; beaten falling at the last in a Leopardstown event that has been well advertised by the 8l runner-up Come Walk With Me in landing handicaps at Fairyhouse and Punchestown.

J: Mark Walsh

T: W P Mullins

Smart hurdler is rated 130 in that sphere and has won in heavy ground; solid efforts on both chase runs, though was beaten by a longer-priced stablemate last time; comes out a clear best at these weights, though, and has a good opportunity to go one better.

J: Mark Walsh

T: W P Mullins

One of three for trainer; useful hurdler was fourth in the Grade 2 Mares' Novice at Cheltenham but was below that in final two runs last season; made a positive course debut over fences last month (2m, soft) when taking the runner-up spot and jumping well in the main; should be able to get off the mark over fences here.

J: Mark Walsh

Useful hurdler was fourth in the Grade 2 Mares' Novice at Cheltenham but was below that level twice after; looks the pick of the owner's trio on jockey bookings with Walsh aboard but there may not be much between her and McLaurey.
