10/1

14/1, fourteenth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, heavy) when last seen on New Year's Eve. Several decent efforts in defeat prior to that in 2024 and she will be a threat if raring to go following a break.

Forecasts

Jerrari (4/1), Torquay Road (9/2), Patty O'Farrell (11/2), You Make Me Smile (13/2), Applejack Poet (7/1), Pampar Lady (8/1), Diamond Approach (8/1), Bursinel (8/1), Reinado (10/1), Destivelle (10/1), Rhythmic Tune (20/1), Hidalgo Des Mottes (20/1), Bowgate Street (20/1), Pebble To A Pearl (28/1), Mollys Dolly (33/1), Kate Ill Know (33/1), Spricklestown (40/1), Mayo For Sam (66/1), Baron Blake (100/1)

DESTIVELLE failed to fire at Punchestown when last seen, but the handicapper has given her a chance (placed several times in the past off higher marks than this) and she is worth chancing in what looks like a wide-open race. You Make Me Smile, a winner at Sligo on her latest start in this sphere in May, and Jerrari are feared most in that order of preference. Reinado is of interest off what looks a fair mark for this handicap debut and he is also shortlisted.
