W: 9st 11lb

2 yo Filly

OR: 63

Form & Verdict
Not many positives to take from her three maiden runs, but perhaps she was not suited by testing conditions on two of those occasions; she now sets the standard following last Friday's second placing over 1m on her handicap/AW debut; due to go up 3lb in future handicaps.

Form & Verdict
Took a small step in the right direction here last time; perhaps unwise to rule out given her trainer's solid overall record with his 2023 juvenile runners; however, his tally of 21 turf juvenile wins is not consistent with a 0-19 record at this venue.

Some merit in his run in a 6f maiden at the Curragh last month, finishing seventh of 20 with today's rival Irish Annie among those behind; has a decent pedigree and may find his level in handicap company now.

Placed twice in small-field handicaps in May; unplaced twice before narrow success at Bellewstown 11 days ago; overcame trouble in running; only 4lb higher now and softer ground may boost his chance of upholding form with Guest Star (third), Pandion Power (fourth) and Are You In Or Out (fifth).
