Form & Verdict
Made it third time lucky at Down Royal (7f, good) in July, beating a now 83 rated rival by a head (conceding 5lb); excellent effort in the Ballyhane on latest; obvious form claims and preferred by Browne-McMonagle; soft ground would be a query.

Both wins last year came at 7f, in Down Royal maiden (good) and needed every yard when getting up late in Roscommon winners contest on soft, having previously finished third in very valuable Naas auction contest over inadequate 6f; didn't land a blow in Goffs Million (Curragh) final start and takes a step up in trip here on seasonal return from a yard in hot form; rider's claim negates his double penalty.

Fourth runner for yard; won a Down Royal maiden over this trip on third start before a fine second back at 6f in the Ballyhane Stakes; scored again in a Roscommon conditions race last time; ground-versatile sort is likely to run a big race with cheekpieces added.

Form & Verdict
1m Bellewstown maiden winner rated 88 after three runs; came up short in a Leopardstown Group 3 when last seen in July; gets weight from the boys here and she ran okay on soft on debut so she may not mind the forecast rain; interesting.

Won Bellewstown maiden last year and decent second in Roscommon winners' contest, best efforts; encouraging comeback run in Madrid Handicap at Naas in late March, staying on late into fourth over inadequate 7f; step up in trip seems sure to suit and top-weight should go well.
