Quite highly tried over fences to date, notably finishing second in a Grade 3 at Roscommon; didn't jump well and hampered when pulled up on last month's handicap debut at Leopardstown; back to maiden company but still no easy task.

Big career-best when causing upset in Clonmel maiden hurdle in December (yielding), well held in Listed mares' novice here later same month; seemingly plenty on her plate here on chase debut.

99-rated performer on the Flat; Killarney maiden hurdle winner but jumping has let her down on both attempts chasing; classy sort, a danger to all if getting her jumping sorted and this looks a weaker race; better ground to suit too.

Won 2m3f Cork mares' maiden hurdle a year ago; absent until December, and soundly beaten twice in handicaps; unlikely one to make an immediate impact chasing.

Dual hurdles winner as a 4yo but on a long losing streak, well held on return from a short break at DRF last month; badly hampered on only previous attempt chasing last summer.

W: 11st 7lb

Made all in 2m Fairyhouse 4yo hurdle last season (soft) and found wanting in Graded company, though ran well in Boodles at Cheltenham and when third in Grade 2 at Fairyhouse; far from fluent in two attempts chasing, latest after lengthy absence at Fairyhouse last month when fair fourth in good-class mares' beginners; this looks a weaker race so big player, especially given a more fluent round of jumping.
Form: 1P9-32 BF
OR: 123
W: 11st 7lb
Age: 7 yo Mare
Won 2m Fairyhouse maiden hurdle last season and but failed to feature in better company; encouraging chase debut third behind a smart mare at Tipperary in November and better again when runner-up (winner has won again since) in Fairyhouse beginners latest; big player if handling this quicker ground.

Betting Forecast
5/1 A Law Of Her Own, 33/1 Eves Hope, 6/1 Goodie Two Shoes, 25/1 Lep Around, 7/1 Media Naranja, 11/4 Miss Manzor, 13/8 Theatre Native
Verdict
The better ground could see significant improvement from Goodie Two Shoes on the jumping front, while Miss Manzor is another who needs to improve her jumping to play a leading role here. Preference is for THEATRE NATIVE, who has two solid runs over fences, although this is probably the quickest ground she has raced on. Law Of Her Own is another with recent jumping issues but has claims on her best form. [Alan Hewison]
