Grade 2 novice chase winner last winter. Hasn't quite those heights this season but found 2m on the short side when 11 lengths second in Naas listed chase last time. Could have a big say back in a handicap.

Belated first win over fences in 6-runner maiden at Clonmel (2½m, heavy, 6/4) 9 days ago, scoring with a bit to spare. Looks on a fair mark for her first handicap chase.

Pulled up in chase/hurdle at Leopardstown on her last 2 outings but the fact she won at this meeting last year means a revival can't be ruled out.

14/1, creditable 24 lengths third of 6 to reopposing Kilbarry Saint in novice chase at Clonmel (2½m, heavy) 9 days ago. Has something to find on form back in a handicap.

Has won 5 ( 2 hurdle, 3 chase) of her 11 starts since joining Willie Mullins. Just stretched by much longer trip when creditable fifth of 14 in handicap chase at Punchestown (27f, heavy) 48 days ago. Down in trip. 4 lb out of the handicap but still respected.

Pulled up in handicap here (20.5f, soft) on reappearance 126 days ago. Off again since. 6 lb out of handicap and almost certainly best to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Kilbarry Saint (3/1), May Call You Back (10/3), Bioluminescence (6/1), Ballybawn Belter (13/2), Me Wee Bonnie Lass (15/2), Mystical Goddess (9/1), Broomfield Bijou (10/1), Kiltealy Park (10/1), Crescent Moon (12/1), Ad Caelum (25/1), Secret She Keeps (80/1)

Verdict

BIOLUMINESCENCE will be suited by the step back up in trip and this graded winner over hurdles and fences might have too much class for these lower-rated rivals. Kilbarry Saint had plenty in hand when finally coming good over fences at Clonmel last week and is second choice ahead of Mystical Goddess and last year's winner Kiltealy Park.
