Maiden hurdle winner made a very pleasing start to her chasing career at Killarney (2m5f, gd-yld) when a 0.5l second of 12 on return from 283 days off under a positive ride; obvious chance if building on that.

Bumper winner is rated 124 over hurdles but has been nowhere near that level in two chase runs last season and has to do way more now.

Decent NH mare, winning a bumper and three times over hurdles at up to 3m; recent chase form not quite at same level but useful; previous two Flat runs include decent fourth in 1m7f Leopardstown amateur maiden last summer; would probably appreciate a stiffer test.

Flat and hurdle winner is rated 120 in the latter sphere after showing consistent form last season; ran well enough on chase bow at Kilbeggan, albeit beaten 17l; can improve from that and be involved.

Hurdle winner last year but lost her form in that sphere; has run well at times over fences but pulled-up last two tries and not easy to fancy.

One of her five hurdle wins came here over 2m4f last year; ended her campaign with a win in a valuable mares' hurdle at Far Hills in USA and is rated 129 in that sphere; has won when fresh and is a big player if ready after the break.

Won a Sligo handicap hurdle last August but was poor twice after; a better effort on return but is rated 111 over hurdles and has a bit to find with some of these on chase debut.

Bumper winner in 2024 won twice over hurdles last summer but wasn't at her best on last two 2025 runs; however, she is a quality sort and can go well fresh so is respected on chase bow.

Was a point and bumper winner last year; seemed to get stuck in heavy ground at Punchestown on her second hurdle start in January; much better when winning at Down Royal last time over 2m4f; should go well on chase debut.

Maiden in all disciplines is rated just 83 over fences so has a mountain to climb in this company.

Her three hurdle wins includes a Listed hurdle at this meeting last year; hasn't matched that form in five starts over fences yet but is capable of better and returning to this track may help.

Maiden hurdle winner made a very pleasing start to her chasing career at Killarney (2m5f, gd-yld) when a 0.5l second of 12 on return from 283 days off under a positive ride; obvious chance if building on that.
