J: Jessica O’Gorman

Two of her three wins have come over C&D, including this race in 2024 off a mark of 60 (now 6lb higher); limited appeal on recent form, but could surprise.

Two of her three wins have come over 5f at this track; has finished last on both starts this term; hard to fancy against that background, despite her liking for this course.

Won a 5f Cork maiden last August (good); out of her depth in a Longchamp Group 3 later that month; fourth in a conditions race at Dundalk in September; should be better for her run at Fairyhouse three weeks ago on first attempt at this trip; signs are that she can stay well enough.

Two-time turf winner in 2024, both at 5f on good to firm and good to yielding ground; is now 14lb below his last success and not in bad form when last seen at Dundalk in March; worth checking in the market on return to turf.

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.

Debut Curragh run was low-key but much better at Naas (6f, good) last August, showing early speed and beaten just 4l into fifth of 12; ended the campaign with a promising 5f AW effort, second to an odd-on chance; could go close if fit and ready for return.
