Monroe's Live John & Margaret Monroe Memorial Mares Handicap Hurdle

Shown a good standard of form in mares' races, notably when winning the Grade 3 Quevega at Punchestown (2m4f, soft); out of her depth against high-class geldings last time; probably best over further and with an ease.

Progressive in handicaps last year; gained third win in 2m4f Clonmel mares' event in October; has been found wanting in conditions races since; may have needed recent Killarney run.

Reverts to hurdling after an unsuccessful spell over fences; likes good ground but it remains to be seen if she can recapture useful 2024 form.

Has struggled in three different categories (hurdle/Flat/chase) on her last three starts; needs to show signs of a revival before becoming a betting proposition again.

Mostly reliable in the first half of last season; enjoyed a fine spell during which she notched two wins and two seconds; may show the benefit of a recent outing at Killarney.
