Winner of a middle-distance Dundalk conditions race in February; subsequent form in turf handicaps does not inspire confidence at this level.

Sole 3yo is second runner for yard with good record in this race; got the better of better-fancied stablemate in AW rated race in February; fair run against male rivals when beaten 5l in strong 3yo handicap at Leopardstown, but she's now 3lb higher as she's out of the handicap; cheekpieces.

Stepped up nicely on previous form to beat a stablemate and favourite (pair clear) in Dundalk rated race over slightly further than this in February; type to keep improving at this trip and rider/trainer having a good time of it of late.

Form & Verdict
Lope De Vega filly has finished runner-up in 8.5f Wolverhampton fillies' novice in October and in C&D maiden last month when clear second to a lesser-fancied stablemate, having been slowly away; suspicion is she still has more to offer so could go well.

Has had plenty of chances, runner-up on four of six maiden runs over shorter trips, most recently on turf return when clear second over 1m2f at Naas in late April; good chance she'll get this trip (Irish Oaks entry) but will need to improve for it.

Maiden was given a tough enough mark on his initial 2yo runs and struggled in a handicap here in January before better effort back in maiden company when staying on third over C&D in first-time tongue-tie; not too much to find with runner-up Arrietty on these revised terms and cheekpieces added.
