Has quickly regressed having shown mild promise earlier in her career over hurdles, and makes little appeal now switching to fences.

Fair hurdles form when second at Tramore in August (OR 97), but below that form since. Not knocked about on chase debut, but plenty more needed at this level.

5/2
Better effort over fences when third of 11 to Jaime Sommers in mares maiden at Tipperary in July. Couldn't build on that next time, but perhaps worth another chance to confirm that initial promise.
Poor and ungenuine handicap hurdler who switches to fences after a break having run poorly over timber at Tramore in August.

6/1
A winner over hurdles in France, and although her form since is patchy, she got back to her best when third of 7 to High School Days in a mares maiden at Wexford on her chasing debut. Big chance if building on that.

Horse silk
8/1
Place claims on the pick of her form over hurdles, but she was well beaten on her only completed start over fences so far, and she has plenty to prove in this discipline.

1/1
Best effort over fences came when finishing second in a novice event over an extended 2m7f at Clonmel. Unsuited by drop in trip when second of 7 to High School Days in mares maiden at Wexford last time, and return to further will suit.
Made a fair start in bumpers but didn't maintain her form, and similar story over hurdles for Joseph O'Brien. Making chase debut for new yard now, and easy enough to oppose.
Hinted at ability on hurdling debut, but gone backwards since then, and looks of no real account on balance.
Poor hurdler who seemed to run above herself on chase debut at Thurles, but followed that with a lifeless effort at Wexford and blinkers are quickly reached for.

Forecasts

Tell Me Annie (1/1), Gracemount (5/2), Mega Mindy (6/1), Payngo (8/1), Boragh Beat (20/1), Comehere Hi (20/1), Little Princess (50/1), Belle West (50/1), Flying Vacation (66/1), Jeremys Hope (66/1)

Verdict

MEGA MINDY hasn't been bombproof in the past, but she's not long with Shark Hanlon and was back to the pick of her hurdles form when third on her first attempt over fences; she has a big chance if that's something she can build on, and is just preferred to strict form pick Tell Me Annie, who ran well despite finding the trip too sharp last time. Gracemount is the only other runner who makes serious appeal, and she may be worth another chance despite a disappointing showing last time.
