Defied a market drift on Curragh debut (6f, good) and the second has since been placed in a Group 3; well held on her return at Leopardstown (7f Group 3) but conditions were heavy and she can be excused that; retains potential.

Form & Verdict
Cost 450,000 euros at the Arqana sales in late 2023; 13th foal; closely related to US 8.5f/1m2f dirt winner Combatant (inc Grade 1; RPR 110) and half-sister to eight further winners, some of them decidedly useful; the market should be highly informative with the stable also represented by two previous winners; McMonagle's apparent preference heightens interest.

Some good form in stakes company last year and on third start this term won 1m4f Limerick Listed, improving markedly for the step up in trip; denied a clear run back at 1m2f on latest in Group 3 at the Curragh so certainly not one to rule out back at this trip.

In fine form last summer, scoring at Ffos Las (1m) and signing off with an excellent second over 1m2f here; set a lot to do on his return from eight months off when tenth in 7f Thirsk handicap 19 days ago; should strip sharper now and he's very much one to consider back up in trip.

Form & Verdict
155,000gns yearling who was strong in the market when winning a 1m maiden at Dundalk in March and the second, who was clear, has since won twice at the Curragh (latterly a handicap off 85); probably needs appreciably more here but Hugh Horgan's claim erases his penalty.

Experienced after six runs and he wasn't beaten all that far in last season's Irish 2,000 Guineas; hasn't gone on from there and he got warm beforehand when fourth of the five runners in a Listed race at Naas two weeks ago (7f, good); the cheekpieces tried there are swiftly removed; not the easiest to pin down right now.

AW maiden winner and ran a cracker in the Irish 2,000 Guineas in 2023 but hasn't repeated that form since; encouraging enough comeback run (after 258-days off) at the Curragh a month ago, staying on late after not clear run; down to an enticing mark and could go well.
