Bounced back to form winning a Listed Punchestown novice mares hurdle at the festival before a heavy defeat when last seen at Ballinrobe. Promising second of nine on chasing debut at Sligo last month and can be expected to improve here.

15/8
Her defeat of Identity Thief in the Red Mills in February reads well given the latter's exploits since but the mare completely lost her way towards the end of the season and best watched on chasing introduction here.
136-rated hurdler who struggled in a couple of starts towards the season finale. Market to be informative on chasing bow.

124-rated hurdler but has been well held in a couple of chase starts at Sligo and here earlier this month when beaten 60L. Cheekpieces are worn for the first time over the larger obstacles.

Winning hurdler in France and the subject of a purchase by leading owners. Plenty to like about his chasing debut when last seen in July and can be expected to come on here.

Forecasts

Forge Meadow (15/8), Dawn Shadow (2/1), Mrs Lovett (9/2), High School Days (9/2), Minnies Secret (14/1), Kilbarry Calling (16/1)

Verdict

Forge Meadow will be expected to improve on a couple of second rate displays towards the end of the season in April but may find the Simon Munir/Isaac Souede-owned, MRS LOVETT a tough nut to crack following a solid debut over the larger obstacles at Tipperary in July. Dawn Shadow will strip-fitter for a run at Sligo on return to action last month and shouldn't to be underestimated.
