8st 11lb |
0-14 but has gone close at times; good run from a wide draw in a 7f Leopardstown (yielding to soft) contest, staying on well; another positive effort when third in a Limerick maiden in this headgear latest (1m, yielding); slowly away that day so effort can be marked up; not out of it. |

0-13 and rated 77; ground versatile and smart juvenile form included a 4l third on debut at the Curragh behind Lake Victoria and Red Letter; good run from wide draw in 7f Leopardstown handicap latest, staying on well; cheekpieces added to tongue tie; big player. |

Ground-versatile sort won a Ballinrobe maiden (9.5f, good) and a Listowel handicap (8.5f, heavy) last season off 1lb lower; modest effort on seasonal return at Ballinrobe (9.5f, gd-yld) but sharper for that and can't be discounted with yard in form. |

10st 0lb |
Recorded third turf win earlier this month at Roscommon under positive ride from today's rider (1m4f, good), overcoming wide draw and having been hampered; 5lb rise takes her back to a near career-high mark so interesting to see if she can back that up. |

Improved since handicapping after a gelding procedure, finishing 2l third when well-backed for his handicap debut over C&D last month before staying on best to win over 1m3f at Down Royal 10 days later; unexposed with just five starts under his belt and should go well again from 5lb higher. |

Off the mark at Ballinrobe four days ago when he dug deep for a narrow success at the expense of the odds-on Majestic King who beat Can I Kiss You the run before; doesn't look obviously well in under a penalty and stall 14 isn't ideal, but must have a chance. |

Had been on a losing run of over 2.5 years before a short head victory at Gowran last time provided her fourth career turf win (1m, soft); runner-up hasn't done much for the form in the meantime; still on an attractive mark compared to her previous wins if continuing on an upward curve. |
