Made a winning debut at Navan in November 2023. Ran in Graded company both starts since, fifth of 17 to Jade De Grugy in Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Novices' Hurdle Championship Final at Fairyhouse (20f, heavy, 33/1) 11 months ago. Obvious chance now chasing for top connections.

15/8
Matched chasing debut effort when third of 11 in beginners chase (11/8) at Fairyhouse (21.2f, good to soft) just over 3 weeks ago. Ought to be popular to make it third time lucky over fences.

20/1
22/1, matched hurdles form despite some sketchy jumping after 13 months off when fifth of 11 in beginners chase at Fairyhouse (21.2f, good to soft) just over 3 weeks ago. Likely to come up short here though.

9/4
Has taken well to chasing, improving further when second of 11 in beginners chase at Fairyhouse (21.2f, good to soft, 9/2) just over 3 weeks ago. Stable's second string on jockey bookings but is getting 4 lb from her rivals.

Forecasts

Look To The West (6/4), Paggane (15/8), Karia Des Blaises (9/4), True Testimony (20/1), Shantou Princess (50/1), Flidais (100/1), Spanish Maid (200/1)

Verdict

Henry de Bromhead's string are typically kicking into gear ahead of the spring festivals and his LOOK TO THE WEST gets the nod to make a winning chasing debut having found graded company too much following her winning hurdling debut last season. Willie Mullins looks to have a couple of leading chances in opposition however, with Paggane taken to reverse the placings with Karia des Blaises from their meeting at Fairyhouse earlier this month.

  1. Look To The West6/4
  2. Paggane15/8
  3. Karia Des Blaises9/4
