Has a solid five-race record at this track and returns after winning for a second time on turf at Naas (5f), beating 15 rivals in the process under Patrick McGettigan; has a 6lb rise to deal with, but she's not exposed just yet.

Won a 5f Dundalk maiden last winter but was too keen when poor on return at Naas over 6f; two better efforts over 5f since but the suspicion is that he is better over that trip.

Major form claims on her seconds in 6f maidens at the Curragh last season but she's threatening to go the wrong way this year (5f maiden/6f handicap); those two runs were in cheekpieces and now goes in a tongue-tie/blinkers combination.

C&D maiden winner in 2023; added two 5f turf wins in 2024; very encouraging third back from a break over C&D in February under this rider; didn't look the easiest mount for a 10lb claimer last time when hanging; he's 11lb lower than his last winning mark and Coen back aboard is a plus.

Best of three maiden runs came second time up over 7f at Down Royal (good), a 1.75l third at 80-1; easy ground may not have suited on latest; not sure 6f will suit on nursery debut but worth a market check nonetheless.
