Dundalk winner on second start at two; third in a 7f handicap here on seasonal debut, a performance that can be upgraded on more than one count, since she was slowly away, raced quite keenly, and was not given a hard race in the end; only a short head behind Green Carrera and may turn the tables.

Phoenix Of Spain half-brother to five Flat winners was second in 1m2f maiden at Ripon last year, when trained by the owner's son; well beaten in three starts on the Flat in Ireland; tongue-tie fitted for hurdling debut; can be keen.

Placed in a 1m2f Ripon maiden (good) for former yard; soundly beaten on debut for this stable at the Curragh (1m, heavy); worth a market check on handicap debut, though rain would be a concern.
