Allegorie De Vassy^t²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 151| BF

10/3

Smart chaser. Respectable 9½ lengths second of 7 to Instit in listed chase at Fairyhouse (21.7f, good to soft, 4/9) 20 days ago, folding. Shortlisted on pick of form.

Form: 11-1122

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Simon Torrens| T: W P Mullins| OR: 143| C| D

18/1

Useful hurdler. Blinkered for 1st time, respectable 15½ lengths fifth of 9 to Impervious in Mrs Paddy Power Mares' Chase (Liberthine) (20/1) at Cheltenham (20.6f, good to soft) 42 days ago. Unlikely to be good enough judged on this season's form.

Form: 112-445

Impervious⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Brian Hayes| T: Colm Murphy| OR: 155| C| D

8/11

Promising sort. 15/8, career best when winning 9-runner Mrs Paddy Power Mares' Chase (Liberthine) at Cheltenham (20.6f, good to soft) 42 days ago by 2½ lengths from Allegorie De Vassy, going clear. Obvious claims.

Form: 65-1111

Riviere D'etel⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G Elliott| OR: 149| C

12/1

Smart chaser. Course winner. Fell in Mrs Paddy Power Mares' Chase (Liberthine) (18/1) at Cheltenham (20.6f, good to soft) 42 days ago won by Impervious. Jumping remains a concern.

Form: 253-24F

Age: 11| Weight: 10-12| J: J J Slevin| T: E & P Harty| OR: 99| D

200/1

Fair chaser. One win from 26 NH runs. Fourth of 6 in handicap chase (15/2) at Navan (20.4f, good to soft) 55 days ago. Out of her depth.

Form: 21-6544

Instit^h²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Danny Mullins| T: W P Mullins| OR: 142| D

9/2

Useful chaser. 15/2, career best when winning 7-runner listed chase at Fairyhouse (21.7f, good to soft) 20 days ago by 9½ lengths from Allegorie De Vassy. Not taken lightly.

Impervious (8/11), Allegorie De Vassy (10/3), Instit (9/2), Riviere D'etel (12/1), Elimay (18/1), Dolcita (20/1), Echoes Of Family (200/1)

IMPERVIOUS maintained her unbeaten record over fences with a very smart performance when readily beating Allegorie de Vassy in the Mrs Paddy Power Mares' Chase (Liberthine) at the Cheltenham Festival 6 weeks ago and should prove hard to beat once more. Allegorie de Vassy can follow her home again despite a rather disappointing performance at Fairyhouse 3 weeks ago.
