Eight wins, two of them here; latest success was over 7f at Naas in March and ran well in big-field contest at the Curragh next time; disappointed when odds-on for Gowran claimer last week, but picked up a few grazes and she's better than that.

Eight-time winner, five over this trip; landed 7f handicap at Naas on soft two starts ago; ran well off 4lb higher when beaten 6l into sixth at the Curragh 19 days ago; should go well back in trip and has won off higher in the past.

Showed improved form on fourth maiden run when fourth over just short of 1m2f at Gowran last time; drops back in trip on softer ground for handicap debut and has to be considered.

Best form has been at 1m2f but it was a Listed race in which she struggled when trying this far for the first time at Naas 19 days ago; others might be better treated anyway; tongue-tie joins regular cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Maiden has run to RPR of 78 on three of her four starts, including on handicap debut at Leopardstown last time over 1m1f; it mightn't be ideal dropping back to 1m but the easier ground should suit and can run well.

Dundalk maiden winner coped well with soft ground when third at Cork on return before a solid effort at Naas, both over 1m; visor is tried off a 3lb lower mark and likely to go well; due to run in the 6.50 at Leopardstown Thursday.

Won a C&D maiden just over a year ago; consistent enough on turf since without winning and was only beaten 2l over 1m here last time; this trip should suit better and is down 2lb, so a chance.
