Comes here on a hat-trick following facile victories in a couple of contests at Punchestown. Holds entries in the Mares' novice chase, the Grade 1 RSA and Marsh Novices' at the Cheltenham festival.
Off the mark at the fourth time of asking over the larger obstacles when landing a Naas mares' beginners chase last month. Beaten in tougher company since but first-time cheekpieces likely to spark improvement.
Form and early season promise appears to have leveled out in a couple of starts when last seen in December. Plenty more needed in this contest.
Winner of one of her seven starts over the larger obstacles. Well held and never nearer in a couple of starts over fences since December. Hard to place any faith in.
Forecasts
Salsaretta (1/5), Caravation (7/1), Moskovite (11/1), Victoria Bay (20/1)
It's difficult to ignore the clear and obvious claims of SALSARETTA in the opening contest. Trainer Willie Mullins appears to have found an ideal contest for the daughter of Kingsala to land the hat-trick. Caravation in first-time cheekpieces can prove the biggest danger but is rated a full 19lb inferior to the selection. The Denis Hogan-trained Moskovite looks booked for third.
