Showed her first glimpse of ability when closing on an idling winner at Thurles last time. Probably has a small race in her but will need her chief rivals to underperform in order for that to happen today.
Ran well in some big field handicaps last year. Did not jump well on chase debut in September and has been on the sidelines since. Will handle any ground but she lacks the class of some of her rivals.
Has run as well as could be expected over hurdles recently and a Grade 3 third over fences at Cork in December makes her the one to beat in this more modest company. Needs to jump better than her last two starts over fences.
French hurdles winner has had some hard tasks since arriving here. Has a ten month absence to overcome on her chase debut and probably best watched for now.
Best effort over fences came when finishing second in a novice event over an extended 2m7f at Clonmel (good) on penultimate start. Failed to stay 3m on soft ground last time but this could still prove too short.
Has won a couple over hurdles on different surfaces. Not as good as several of these on hurdle ratings and her previous three runs over fences leave her with even more to find.
Has run to a similar level on her last few starts and that would leave her a long way short here

Forecasts
High School Days (1/1), Tell Me Annie (6/4), Pat's Oscar (4/1), Undefined Beauty (8/1), Cerealice (10/1), A Girl Like Me (14/1), Mega Mindy (25/1), Theatre Run (25/1), Little Princess (25/1), Ilsnepasserontpas (25/1)
A race where stakes should be kept to a minimum with HIGH SCHOOL DAYS having the outstanding piece of form judged on a Grade 3 third over fences at Cork. She was the pick of these over hurdles by some margin but her last two starts over fences were marred by mistakes and that would be the main concern. Pat's Oscar would be a danger on her hurdling form, particularly if there is rain, but Tell Me Annie and A Girl Like Me would make more appeal over further.
