1/4

Proved as good as ever during the spring, successful in Mares' Chase at Cheltenham before easily completing hat-trick in Grade 2 at Punchestown. Recovered from a bad early error to finish second in Fortria Chase at Navan (16f, heavy, 11/8) on return, so she's the one to beat.

Thrived sent chasing last season, completing 4-timer when successful in listed mares' novice at Bangor in November. Good effort when third in Galway Plate in July, but found to have an irregular heartbeat when pulled up on latest outing in September.

6/1

Made an encouraging start to her chasing career early this year, confirming the promise of her first effort when comfortably winning mares' maiden at Kilbeggan (19.9f, good to soft, 10/11) in April. Respected as she moves up in grade in this discipline.

Forecasts

Dinoblue (1/4), Bioluminescence (6/1), Look To The West (6/1), Shecouldbeanything (13/2)

A dual Grade 2 winner last season, DINOBLUE ran well taking on the males when second in the Fortria on return, getting back into contention after an early mistake, so she looks to hold leading claims back in mares' company. Look To The West is open to improvement making only her third chase start and could be the main danger, ahead of Bioluminescence.
