Bloomfield House Hotel Mares Hurdle

Sole win came in a mares only race at Cork last May, form dipped afterwards and now has a lot to prove on these terms after a long absence.

Not the most consistent individual but had Miss Sapphire 6l behind when winning at Cork in April and has to merit consideration from just a 2lb higher mark. Wouldn't mind a touch of rain but sound claims in what is likely to be a tactical race.

Previous course winner that arrives here on the back of a couple of solid efforts. The step up in trip does leave her with a little to prove but the Killbeggan factor can help her settle. Holds Cotton Jenny on previous C&D form. Dangerous to underestimate.

Got back on track with a smooth effort at Wexford last month and may still have more to offer. Needs to reverse the form with Dont Kick Nor Bite but is a tough customer and no surprise if she where to find a little more when push comes to shove. Interesting she is kept to this level rather than going the handicap route.

No impression on his handicap debut last time out and comes here with a little to prove after that lacklustre efforts. Softer ground would also be more beneficial.
