10/11
Has made a fine start to her chasing career, building on an impressive beginners' chase success to land a Grade 2 event at Cork (16.7f, good to soft, 2/1) in December. That performance was similarly taking and she has to be respected.

6/4
Won the listed hurdle on this card last season before following up in a Grade 3 at Naas. Hard held when making a successful debut over fences in an 8-runner novice at Naas (20.1f, heavy, 7/2) and she should take high rank in this division.

Proved better than ever when scoring readily in a handicap hurdle at Warwick (21f) in November. Rare poor effort when down the field at Ascot last time and makes the switch to chasing in a hot-looking contest, so others are preferred.

14/1
Encouraging third at Gowran on her chase debut but was no match for Only By Night in a Grade 2 at Cork (16.7f, good to soft) next time, Stiff task last time but will need to find more to figure at this level with hood on for the first time.

33/1
Filled the runner-up spot 5 times over fences before deservedly getting off the mark at Uttoxeter in November. Career best when scoring again over that C&D 15 days ago but this represents a marked step up in grade against unexposed opposition.

Forecasts

Only By Night (10/11), Fun Fun Fun (6/4), Georgi Girl (12/1), Kilbarry Saint (14/1), Lime Drop (33/1)

Verdict

A fascinating clash between two most exciting mares, with FUN FUN FUN fancied to repeat her win on this card 12 months ago, not having had to come off the bridle to record an impressive chase debut success. Only By Night hasn't put a foot wrong in this sphere so far and could well prove up to conceding weight to the selection, with Kilbarry Saint perhaps best of the rest.
