Comes here on the back of a couple of recent hurdle wins at Fairyhouse and Wexford. Winner on the Flat over 1m2f/1m4f for trainer James Fanshawe two years ago, the mare has the form to make a bold bid here.
Winner of four of her 38 starts on turf, the daughter of Zoffany last win came in a Galway 1m½f handicap two years ago off a 7lb higher mark. Well held on seasonal return this month but holds possible claims if getting the run if the race.
In good form in the autumn of last year but has appeared to struggle in a number of starts since returning to action in March. First time cheekpieces may prove a big assist.
Winner at just the second attempt in September when landing a Roscommon maiden over 1m4f. Well held in a couple of subsequent starts and not seen since a heavy defeat on the AW at Dundalk in October.
Three from 18 turf starts on the Flat, hitting the frame on a further three occasions. Losing run beginning to mount up and needs to get back to winning ways soon.
Solid and consistent winner of three of her 24 starts on turf and claiming place prize money on a further seven occasions. Running well in defeat of late and one for the shortlist.
Career high rating of 75 when in the hands of trainer Richard Fahey, but last came came over two years ago off a 10 higher mark. Well held on debut for new connections and looks to be on a downward spiral.
Forecasts
Great White Shark (5/6), Bit Of Banter (4/1), Stormy Tale (5/1), Bianca Minola (10/1), Flicker Flame (12/1), Monaco Rose (16/1), Remarkable Lady (33/1)
Winner of her last tow hurdle starts recently, GREAT WHITE SHARK in first-time hood can get the better of her rivals returning to the Flat. The five-year-old won over a similar trip when in the hands of trainer James Fanshawe and continue winning ways at the expense of the Jessica Harrington-trained Bit Of Banter and the solid and consistent, Stormy Tale.
