Picked up for £45,000 after winning an Irish point in the spring; well held at odds-on on her bumper debut a month ago but should be more at home back over obstacles and upped in distance; goes on the shortlist.

Irish mares' maiden point winner (3m, yielding) who was runner-up on her bumper debut at Worcester (2m, good) in September and went very close in a novice hurdle at Bangor (2m3f, soft) last month; open to further improvement now up in trip and she's a key player.

One of the favourites when a rallying winner of her only point in Ireland (3m, yielding), the form of which has some substance; bought for £45,000 and has been found a weak opener for rules debut.

Form & Verdict

Bought for £100,000 after winning an Irish point last autumn; debut bumper third hasn't worked out and she finished well held next time before undergoing wind surgery, but should do better now hurdling for a yard among the winners of late.

Battled well when winning her sole Irish point in October before being bought for £100,000 the following month; held in third of 12 at Warwick (2m, good) on her stable debut in February but was beaten less than 3l and that was a promising start under rules; respected.

Form & Verdict

No great shakes in Irish points before springing a 50-1 shock on her hurdles debut in the summer; hasn't backed that up in two subsequent runs and has a bit to prove for her new yard under a penalty.
