T: Ross O’Sullivan

Gained second turf win over C&D on penultimate, beating Nouvel Espoir by 0.5l off 4lb lower; disappointed off revised mark at Dundalk latest; return to this track a plus but must prove she can win off this mark.

T: Ross O’Sullivan

Has a solid five-race record at this track and returns after winning for a second time on turf at Naas (5f), beating 15 rivals in the process under Patrick McGettigan; has a 6lb rise to deal with, but she's not exposed just yet.

Form & Verdict

Won a nursery over C&D (yielding) from wide draw on her final run of 2024; no show in two runs this season but is now 1lb below that course success; well-drawn and return to this venue could spark a revival.

Maiden went close in third handicap when a 1.5l second of 14 in a Naas nursery (5f, good) in September and 2lb lower now; has been off the track since poor run at Dundalk in November; chance on that Naas effort and worth a market check on seasonal return.
