Yielding To Soft

Simmering Seas

9st 3lb

J: Seamie Heffernan

T: Derek McCormack

Modest maiden form but has shaped promisingly enough in first two handicaps; hampered and clipped heels when a 4.75l sixth on seasonal return and stable debut at Naas (5f, soft); same mark here and nicely drawn; interesting.

Had a troubled passage on only nursery start for Donnacha O'Brien; potentially interesting on first start for a small Kildare yard.

First reserve; the best of four maiden runs came here; poor on soft twice since; one to watch in market if getting in with cheekpieces added.

Prairie Girl

9st 4lb

J: Colin Keane

T: Derek McCormack

Sent off at short enough odds both starts for Michael O'Callaghan earlier this season but didn't figure, neither did she on yard debut at Bellewstown last month; hard to assess on handicap debut but bred for the trip and Colin Keane booked so has to be worth a market check.

Best run in three maidens was fourth over this trip on AW in January; check the market on h'cap debut.
