Only By Night
Dual bumper winner also won a maiden hurdle but has shown chasing to be her forte, winning both her starts impressively; beat Nara with plenty up her sleeve in a 2m Cork Grade 2 mares' novice last time; 5lb worse off with that rival today but if repeating that form up to this trip she will take some stopping.

A Penny A Hundred
One of three runners for yard; won a Ballinrobe beginners' chase in September but reportedly made a noise in-running next time; solid effort behind stablemate Judicieuse Allen since but has a bit to find today.

Broomfield Bijou
Dual hurdle winner won a Wexford novice chase on debut in this sphere last summer; some decent efforts in defeat since but was below form at Leopardstown last time and has to rebound.

Judicieuse Allen
Second runner for yard; maiden hurdle winner fell on chasing debut when holding every chance in the summer; made up for that by winning a Sligo (2m1f) beginners' and Fairyhouse (2m5f) novice since; Townend prefers Spindleberry but there probably isn't much between them.

Maid On The Moon
Rated 87 over hurdles but is shaping up to be a better chaser; however, was beaten 42l in a Limerick Grade 2 novice last time and has to find loads of improvement.

Spindleberry
Point winner won a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle last year before finishing a fine second to a stablemate in a Grade 1 novice at the same track; disappointed next time but took a Cork beginners' chase on seasonal debut last month; seems to be the stable selected so has to be respected.

Nara
Won a 2m mares' beginners' chase at Gowran before finishing a well-held runner-up to Only By Night in a Grade 2 mares' novice at Cork; is 5lb better off with that rival today up in trip and it should be closer between them.
