Won a 2m1f maiden hurdle at Killarney in 2024; fairly lightly raced since then but her runs haven't been too encouraging, although ran well for a 66-1 shot at Wexford last time when fifth of 14 (2m4f, good to yielding); shaped like this trip was worth a go that day. |

Two-time winner last year, including on yielding over C&D off 51 and followed up off 60 a month later; went close off that mark at Killarney back in July (11.5f, good); down to 56 after below par efforts the last twice; could bounce back, though very soft ground would be a worry. |

Ex-Irish maiden who is 0-4 for shrewd current connections and has weak form claims; however, gives the impression he may improve for this addition of hood, combined with drop back to 1m; not dismissed. |

Modest form in five Irish runs and he's yet to kick on in three runs for Mick Appleby, most recently dropping away in the straight in the race won by Well Prepared ten days ago; this is weak but others still look safer. |
