Just the one success in 24 starts under rules, came over this sort of trip at Cork in August. Remains 3lb higher in the ratings now but has some decent placed form too, though beaten 27L last day in Clonmel handicap hurdle.

Didn't appear to be anything better than an average handicapper until a couple of recent successes at Ballinrobe (2m1f good), but now evident that she's a much better horse over fences than hurdles.

Verdict

Knockraha Boss could take the field along here, with Aussie Guest and Esta Quercus in behind. Wee Tiger, runner-up in 2m4f handicap hurdle at Tipperary in May, Rathnaleen Girl, winner last day in Wexford handicap over 2m on good ground when beating 12 rivals at 10/1. Raised 10lb for efforts and MULLINAVAT, second of 15 in Tramore handicap in June, could be the direction to look for a selection.
