5/4
Promising individual. Career best when winning 6-runner hurdle (7/4) at Punchestown (16.1f, good to soft) 29 days ago, cosily. Hasn't peaked and good shout despite her penalty.

28/1
Winner in bumper here in October. 12/1, 11½ lengths third of 15 to Liberty Dance in novice hurdle at this course (15.9f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 17 days ago. Open to improvement but surprising if she can turn the tables on Liberty Dance on these terms.

Cork bumper winner. Second of 21 in novice hurdle (9/2) at Punchestown (16.3f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 19 days ago, no match for exciting winner. Likely to improve.

6/5
Improved plenty when winning 15-runner novice hurdle at this course (15.9f, good to soft, 5/6) 17 days ago, readily. More to come again and could be hard to beat.

66/1
Fair hurdler. Creditable second of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (16f, 10/1) 18 days ago. Hard to fancy on these terms.

Forecasts

Liberty Dance (6/5), The Model Kingdom (5/4), Belle The Lioness (13/2), Rocco Bay (25/1), A Law Of Her Own (28/1), Well Funded (66/1), Littel Flour (100/1)

Verdict

LIBERTY DANCE was impressive when scoring in a C&D novice hurdle a fortnight ago and there could be plenty more to come from her. She can strike again, with The Model Kingdom feared most ahead of Belle The Lioness.
