The top-rated horse in the field by a clear 7lbs, and she arrives here in the form of her life — three wins in a row including a Grade 1 at Cheltenham last time out, where she beat the second-favourite Only By Night. She has already won twice at Punchestown and has a victory over this exact course and distance, making her the standout on almost every measure.

Trainer Quotes
Nov 2025
"She starts off at Navan in the rescheduled Fortria Chase and, as usual, her ultimate aim will be getting back to the Mares' Chase at Cheltenham. We won't deviate too much from what we did last season with her. 17-11-25"

"She has always looked nice at home, but it was nice to see her show it on the racecourse when coming home 15 lengths clear at Clonmel in January. That was on heavy ground, and she looked very good and things have gone well since. Her work has been pleasing and she'll make up my quartet in the Mares' Novices' Hurdle. 09-03-22"
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
The second-highest-rated horse in the race and the only one with a proven 3-from-4 record on wet ground, which matters a lot today. She was beaten just under 2 lengths by Dinoblue at Cheltenham last time, so she clearly goes close to the favourite on current form — but she has to reverse that result and has drifted slightly in the betting.
2nd highest rated (OR 152)
Trainer Quotes
Feb 2026
"She'll go for the Mares' Chase. Her first run back at Naas was a great performance. It didn't happen for her at Leopardstown at Christmas. She got badly hampered and was outpaced, but she ran okay. She's not certain to stay two and a half miles but I'm hoping she will. 19-02-26"
Nov 2024
"She's a nice mare who showed plenty in her bumpers and had a couple of good runs over hurdles last season. She's going chasing and is a point-to-point winner who jumps well. She's ready to start off as soon as we get some soft ground. She's a fine, big mare and we think she'll improve for a fence. 13-11-24"
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
Wins roughly 1 in every 2 races she runs, which is a remarkable record at this level, and this 2m 4f trip is her sweet spot — she has won 2 of her 3 races over it. She's coming off a 14-length defeat at Cheltenham and a pull-up before that, so her recent form is patchy, but trainer Willie Mullins has been in fine form with 9 winners in the last two weeks.

Trainer Quotes
Nov 2025
"She's a strong mare who hasn't put a foot wrong since we sent her over fences. She looks an ideal type for the Mares' Chase at Cheltenham. When you look through her form, the recurring theme is all her wins being on right-handed tracks, but that's just a coincidence and I don't see her having any problems with going the other way round. 17-11-25"
TrackLab Insight
The youngest horse in the field at just six, and the least experienced in this company, stepping into Grade 2 territory for the first time. Her best asset is her record on wet or muddy ground — 2 wins from 3 races in those conditions — but she fell at Aintree just 20 days ago, and bouncing back quickly from a fall at this level is a big ask.
Best record on this ground (2 from 3)
Trainer Quotes
Feb 2026
"She's been a revelation this season. She was brilliant on her first two runs over fences at Cork and probably bumped into a very good horse in the Scilly Isles at Sandown. She's in the Mares' Chase and she could go there, but there are plenty of options for her at home as well. 09-02-26"
TrackLab Insight
Rated 26lbs below the favourite, which is a huge gulf in a small field like this, and her win rate of roughly 1 in every 7 races reflects a horse that competes rather than dominates. She has run three decent races in a row including two seconds, but stepping up to Grade 2 company against rivals of this quality represents a significant leap.
3 straight top-3 finishes
Jockey in best form (4 from 17 last 2wk)
TrackLab Insight
Rated a massive 56lbs below Dinoblue, which is an almost unbridgeable gap at the top level, and her odds of 201-1 reflect that honestly. She has just one win from 14 races and her recent form includes a pull-up and a sixth-place finish, making this the most straightforward assessment in the field: she is here to run, not to win.

How do odds work?
The first number is what you win, the second is what you bet. So 5/2 means you win £5 for every £2. 4/1 means you win £4 for every £1. The bigger the first number, the less likely bookmakers think the horse will win — but the more you'd win if it does.
