Won two handicap hurdles over this sort of trip in the past 13 months; poor run in a Listed mares' hurdle at Gowran last month but plenty of promise in a trio of beginners' events previously and return to further should help; chase experience could count for plenty. |

Still a maiden chaser after six attempts but made a very encouraging seasonal debut at Galway (2m6f, heavy) three weeks ago, keeping on well from the rear for third; shapes as though stamina is her strong suit, so today's test could be ideal. |

Lightly-raced chaser who has posted two career bests recently; won handicap chase at Thurles in March over 2m4½f; last seen finishing runner-up to Gain De Cause in the Ladies National at Fairyhouse; upped 3lb for that effort but is unexposed over fences for trainer who does very well in these types of contests; step up in trip looks like it will suit and he has solid claims. |
