Dual winner bounced back to form when getting up late to win a 2m2f Downpatrick handicap hurdle last month; should be okay over the extra trip here and be competitive off a 5lb higher mark. |

Seemed to appreciate quick ground when making all for Stratford win last month, profiting from a reduced mark; hard to be sure how she will measure up here but potentially interesting; stable had a winner at Laytown on Monday,

11st 6lb |
Back in good form over hurdles since fitted with a tongue-tie this summer, most notably when scoring at Stratford (2m, good to firm) two starts ago; contender if she jumps adequately on today's chasing debut; raced mainly on good ground but was placed in a soft-ground bumper. |

0-11; first run in a tongue-tie when giving it a good go from the front at Worcester (2m, good), going down by 8l; this track could suit better if ridden the same way and she's down 2lb. |

0-17 on Flat, 0-12 over hurdles but has to be taken seriously following three successive seconds, all at Wexford; no disgrace in her failure to cope with the odds-on Chutzpal three weeks ago; winner was completing a mixed hat-trick.

0-9 over hurdles; best effort to date on latest when beaten 8.5l into fourth of 11 at Downpatrick (2m2f, good); dropping back in trip a plus on the evidence of that run but different ground to deal with here; not fully discounted if she handles the conditions. |
