Latest of three Flat wins for Jessica Harrington was off 84 last summer; improved of late over hurdles; mild promise when sixth at Bellewstown and then 22-1, dropped in grade to beat geldings at Wexford; needs proper good ground and trainer admits she's unpredictable.

Having finished second at Naas in April, won this off 4lb lower last year and was third at Roscommon next time; hasn't threatened since on softer terrain but decent ground is key to her and she might bounce back to form; usual rider has jumped ship to Shannon Bank, but sub isn't too shabby.

Won three handicaps for previous yard and likes good ground; 1m6f Flat winner last year when her hurdles form wasn't great; has dropped down to last winning mark, but not a hectic record when fresh and last two wins have come in cheekpieces.

Placed in two bumpers for Seamus Fahey and second in 2m1f Killarney handicap hurdle in October when with Gavin Cromwell; unfancied on stable debut, and first run of the year, when mid-field in Wexford chase; might prefer farther, but not out of it.

Keen-goer was sixth in a good bumper at Cork in March (winner and third won next time); fitted with a hood, still looked a tricky ride but ran much better on third hurdles start last month, keeping on when beaten 12l in decent maiden at Down Royal; handicap debut.

Remote third at Wexford her best finishing position; can be keen and described as 'a very difficult ride' when connections were called in by the stewards after she was fifth at Ballinrobe; after a year's absence, ran in the corresponding race at Ballinrobe last week, keen again and had weakened out of it when falling at the last; readily opposed on handicap debut.

Had weakened out of it when falling at the last latest; opposable on handicap debut

Long-standing maiden until joining yard last summer and then went back-to-back at Wexford in July/August; well beaten at the festival here on next start and has struggled since; better ground will help and she's 1lb lower than last winning mark.
