Solid form in handicaps for John O'Donoghue; solid efforts in handicaps at the Curragh (1m, sft-hvy) and Leopardstown (1m2f, yld-sft) on first two runs for this stable; up against it on the figures here but if there's heavy rain she could sneak into the money. |

Likes soft ground and won off 9lb lower on her final start for John O'Donoghue at Navan (1m2f, soft) last April; holds a leading chance now after a good effort on seasonal/stable debut over 1m at the Curragh; met trouble in running, and her performance can be upgraded. |

Recorded third turf win earlier this month at Roscommon under positive ride from today's rider (1m4f, good), overcoming wide draw and having been hampered; 5lb rise takes her back to a near career-high mark so interesting to see if she can back that up. |

Maiden after 23 runs; placed seven times up to 1m4f; two respectable runs this season, plenty of horses behind him on both occasions, seventh of 17 at Leopardstown and sixth of 23 at Navan; hard to be confident but may reward the persistence of connections at some point. |

One of three for yard; Flat winner (two on soft-heavy) is 0-8 over timber but he ran better on yielding ground at Killarney last time when a warm order but relegated to third place late on (no chance with winner); can build on that effort. |
