Possibly telling she finally came good over extended 7f latest (soft) as has not convinced over this sort of trip and reservations remain; up 6lb and tricky draw. |

Three-time winner here over 1m/1m1f; stamina won't be a problem as he was keeping on when fourth over 1m4f on the AW last week (visored; last win was in these reapplied blinkers); not handicapped out of it. |

Won for the second time when scoring by a wide margin at Galway over 7f last time when 9lb out of the handicap; a 9lb hike demands more but has won off a higher mark before so has to be taken seriously. |

All three wins have come on turf, but has placed form over 7f/1m here and top 'bug' rides; back from a break, though, and it usually takes a run to sharpen him. |

Won a maiden here in 2024 but well beaten in a handicap here last year; 10lb lower now, however, and huge swing in weights may enable him to turn the tables on Reponse Finale who was 0.75l ahead of him at Dundalk 26 days ago; player. |
