Second-season hurdler has twice landed odds in ordinary company this term and has progressed well in Graded company, notably third in Grade 2 Ryanair Mares' Novice at Cheltenham and most recently Grade 1 Honeysuckle Mares' Novice at Fairyhouse when second to Zanoosh under a positive ride; meets two superior rivals here however so seems booked for third.

Second-season hurdler won 2m maiden here in January before chasing home 9l winner Oldschool Outlaw in 2m3f Grade 3 mares' novice; got a lot closer to that rival in Grade 2 Ryanair Mares' Novice at Cheltenham, only losing second on run-in to that rival; not sure this longer trip will play to her strengths but respected.

Cracking effort for a maiden to finish fifth in last season's Triumph; won her first two this campaign, though was long odds-on for both (2m6f/2m) and she couldn't hold a candle to Oldschool Outlaw when returned to Graded company at Fairyhouse (2m2f); it takes some imagination to envisage her reversing those placings.

Half-sister to yard's smart hurdler/chaser up to 2m4f Quai de Bourbon; last season's Triumph Hurdle fifth has returned this term to land long odds in 2m7f Thurles mares' maiden and made all in weak 4-runner 2m mares' contest here on New Year's Day (yielding); first real test here conceding weight; yard have won this for the last four years.

Third at Auteuil (2m2f, very soft) on only French start; chased home odds-on stablemate Karoline Banbou over C&D in January; never far from the pace when fifth (third-best of her trainer's squad behind stablemate Poniros in the Triumph Hurdle); somewhat laboured when landing the odds over a staying trip at Clonmel six weeks ago; capable of raising her game.
