Four turf wins, including this race last year, beating Cloud Seeker by a short head; not far behind Iron Fist on seasonal debut at Cork; out of her comfort zone in a Listed race at Gowran last time; respected now on the same mark as 12 months ago.

Promise in two runs at two, notably when second to the subsequent 2025 Irish Derby runner-up Serious Contender; uneven form last year; just denied at Leopardstown on handicap/seasonal debut; up 4lb but still a leading contender for in-form yard.

T: Gerard O’Leary

Signed off last season with back-to-back 7f AW wins for Ger Lyons; yet to hit form in two runs for this stable and remains a maiden on turf (0-11) but acts on good ground so may improve on his below par effort on soft at Down Royal last time.

Won three of four races at Dundalk, signing off his tenure with Ger Lyons with back-to-back victories over 1m there; ran no race on stable debut/seasonal return at Leopardstown (1m2f, good); much more required and may be better on AW.

Two C&D wins last season on good and heavy ground; yet to hit top gear this term but has slipped 4lb below his last success and hinted that he might be coming back to form at Ballinrobe on latest; not discounted.

Concerning that he has failed to build on his debut second behind two Aidan O'Brien-trained colts in a 7f juvenile maiden at the Curragh; ran only twice last season, and his best effort was when second at Gowran on the first occasion; same pattern this season, fair second at Dundalk before falling to improve at Gowran, perhaps a tongue-tie will make the difference

3yo; off the mark in emphatic fashion at Down Royal (10.5f, good) in May; hiked up 15lb and came up short back there latest, although 1m5f on soft ground may not have been to his liking; drops back in trip on more suitable ground now and rider claims valuable 5lb; could bounce back.
