First reserve, bumper winner, pleasing handicap debut on second run after long absence

One good run over fences in France, her Irish hurdles form does not amount to much

Second reserve, has tended to make things hard for herself by running too freely
NR	Poker Night Bay J:TBC T:R P Cody	J: T:R P Cody	158	—	0580-0	85	96	47	11d	—	—	+1	11.9	6.00/1	25 4%

Second of her three maiden runs was respectable but hard to make a strong case for her

Ordinary form over hurdles and on the Flat, does not appeal as being well handicapped
9	The Cooleen Bay J:Danny Mullins T:J P Flavin	J:Danny Mullins T:J P Flavin	159	—	800-0	92	94	24	13d	—	—	+1	14.5	1.63/1	13/2 13%
