An absolute model of consistency, with seven wins from her last eight races. Will take all the beating again here.
Former point winner was second sole start over fences at Wexford in October, been running over timber since but might hit the frame again here.
Moderate promise in four starts over fences, step up in trip here should suit but looks an unlikely winner.
Travelled ominously well at Doncaster latest, finding 140-rated rival too good in the home straight. Entitled her to plenty of respect here.
Impressive Wexford winner in October before falling next time at Cork, ran over hurdles at Leopardstown since and needs more to take this prize.
No match for Daisy's Gift at Wexford in October and similar effort here when runner-up the following month. Pulled up at Limerick over Christmas.
Decent effort first time over fences at Cork in mares' beginners event, less promising since at the same venue in with the boys.
Hasn't shown much over fences since leaving the champion trainer and behind Blazing West at Naas last weekend.
Won at Fairyhouse in early December when making all, unable to follow up since off new mark and could be similar tale here.
Forecasts
Westerner Lady (4/6), Keppols Queen (7/1), Daisy's Gift (8/1), Not For Burning (11/1), Colla Pier (11/1), Misty Lady (12/1), Black Franks Angel (20/1), Monbeg Rose (20/1), Blazing West (33/1)
Colla Pier travelled with real purpose at Doncaster last month before having to give second best and should put up another good show here but she is running into a model of consistency in WESTERNER LADY. She's answered just about every question asked of her recently and should have the scope to bag another prize here. Black Franks Angel made a promising start in this sphere at Wexford and, having been campaigned over hurdles recently, can hit the frame here. Not For Burning may struggle off her current mark but she'll likely be up on the front end and could hold off Misty Lady for place money.
