Bumper winner for Tim Townend; progressive in three runs for Willie Mullins, winning a Clonmel handicap hurdle in October when last seen; soft ground is likely to be a negative but respected and probably still relatively unexposed.

Spotlight :
Long odds-on when beaten by Cast A Spell in a Navan maiden hurdle in November; no improvement in two runs since although did run into a very smart mare at Fairyhouse last time; best is yet to be seen of her in all likelihood and could well play a hand in her first handicap.

Good mare for Dick Donohoe, winning four times over hurdles and a Listed Flat contest; readily landed a handicap hurdle at Punchestown in November and changed hands for 52,000euros since; first run for Emmet Mullins; first time headgear tried here and has to come into calculations.

Got off the mark in a Limerick maiden hurdle in November and has progressed in two runs since, winning a mares Listed contest at Thurles before Christmas; handles most ground but does seem to be more adept on good ground so forecast rain a probable negative.

Consistent mare although has found a couple of ways to lose; everything came right when a decisive winner of a 2m handicap hurdle at Thurles in December; up 9lb but could be well suited by a big field and a strong gallop; definite contender.

Caused a mild surprise when a convincing winner of this race last year; solid run too when third to today's opponent and stablemate Lily Du Berlais in a valuable contest at Kelso in May; ran okay in a valuable handicap hurdle at Doncaster in December when last seen and should be forward enough to do herself justice; 8lb higher this year though and Slevin prefers Lily Du Berlais.

Frequent traveller to Britain, winning an Ayr maiden hurdle and a valuable Kelso handicap (Brucio third) last spring; two runs this season have been less than convincing though and others preferred, although she is the choice of JJ Slevin.
