Just the one win from 19 starts over hurdles. Has clearly had a number of training problems and was reported to have burst a blood vessel on latest start at Cork last month.
Off the mark for connections at the 13th time of asking when landing a Limerick novice hurdle over 2m4f last month. Strong claims still on a handy mark.
10-race maiden hurdler who appears to be progressing of late. Entitled to make the shortlist following on from runs at Kilbeggan and last time out at the Galway festival.
Well held on the Flat at Gowran Park last month but the mare has posted a number of encouraging starts over hurdles since May. Place claims to get off the mark over timber at the 12th attempt.
Sent off at big odds for previous and current connections in four hurdle starts over a three year period. Impossible to fancy.

Imperial Choice (11/4), Josephina (7/2), Pivotal Flame (9/2), Jessamine (6/1), Do Ya Feel Lucky (6/1), Ayr Of Elegance (7/1), Nancy D'Alton (14/1), Famous Day (16/1), Dancing Rhythm (66/1)
C&D winner in June, DO YA FEEL LUCKY can add to that win here, putting a couple of recent below-par efforts behind her. The five-year-old mare can improve on her recent start at Limerick to land the spoils at the expense of the Henry De Bromhead-trained, Ayr Of Elegance who can emerge as the biggest danger. Jessamine and the solid-looking, Pivotal Flame can dispute remaining prize money.
