Placed on her last four maiden hurdle starts though soundly beaten, may find her level now
6	Delias Pet Brown J:Daniel King T:Timothy Doyle	J:Daniel King T:Timothy Doyle	147	—	401133	96	118	94	8d	—	—	+14	29	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Holding her form well since winning twice in the first third of the month, should go close
7	Ad Caelum Bay J:Sean O'Keeffe T:John Patrick Ryan	J:Sean O'Keeffe T:John Patrick Ryan	146	—	273443	95	121	108	8d	—	—	+2	20.4	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Placed in three of her six maiden hurdle starts, opening mark does not seem unreasonable
4	Optional Mix Bay J:Hugh Morgan T:Eoin Doyle	J:Hugh Morgan T:Eoin Doyle	156	t	218689	105	120	98	32d	—	—	+7	19.4	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Much more effective as a chaser, hard to fancy despite her declining hurdles rating

Went up 8lb for winning at Wexford, out of the money at Punchestown off her new mark

Below best over fences last time, twice unplaced over hurdles since Ballinrobe win in May
