10st 13lb

J: Darragh O’Keeffe

T: Henry De Bromhead

Dual bumper winner in France; looked rather modest in Ireland until showing improvement to win big-field handicap hurdle at Thurles (2m, good to yielding) most recently; in excellent hands and could take another step forward; not dismissed.

J: Darragh O’Keeffe

T: Henry De Bromhead

A winner of two of her three French bumper starts but has been underwhelming in her Irish career to date; well beaten in opening two handicap hurdles and switch to fences didn't help at Wexford last time.

T: Henry De Bromhead

Dual bumper winner in France; not a bad attempt on sole effort over fences at Downpatrick in September when third (2m2f, good); modest improvement over poor seasonal return when sixth at this track earlier this month (2m1f, good); enters handicap chase company for the first time.

J: Danny Power

T: Henry De Bromhead

Dual bumper winner on testing ground in France is 0-5 over hurdles, most recently dropping away tamely on good ground in Ballinrobe handicap in May (after 249-day absence); entitled to come on for that but will probably want rain.

J: Darragh O’Keeffe

T: Henry De Bromhead

Dual bumper winner on testing ground in France is 0-4 over hurdles; shaped okay on handicap debut at Tipperary last July when a 7.75l seventh of 18 over 2m on yielding; decent effort on chase debut when last seen in September; ran well in a C&D maiden last year; lacks a run but not discounted for top yard.
