Form & Verdict
Won a 5f maiden last year before finishing second in a 6f Fairyhouse Listed event; showed improved form on reappearance when a running on third in a Naas Group 3 (6f); shapes as if this trip will suit and a hood is added; big player.

T: W McCreery

Seven of her eight runs have been on good ground; has some ups and downs in her profile but she's been generally progressive and hit a personal best when landing a Group 2 at the Curragh (1m, good) on return last month; has a penalty for that success but she found plenty after travelling strongly into the race and had two of today's rivals behind her; still unexposed at this trip and she's an interesting contender.

As usual, he was held up before breezing through the field to win the Balmoral Handicap over 1m here last October (soft; 4lb lower); needs to put this season's performances behind him but arrives here fresh and rain would heighten interest.

Held up; excellent 2024 in handicaps on varied ground culminated in his Balmoral triumph at Ascot (1m, soft) in October; never having raced beyond 1m asks a question but he saw it out well that day and has a form chance if putting this month's reappearance (18-1 in Listed race) well behind him.

Shaped well in a few top handicaps prior to deservedly landing a big pot in the Balmoral at Ascot (1m, soft) last October; whether his hold-up style lends itself to a Listed race around here remains to be seen but he's a big player on form if ready to roll after nine months off.
