Form & Verdict
$550,000 purchase has steadily improved with each run; still a touch green when touched off at Galway (7f, yielding) earlier this month by a well-regarded filly; she's related to a couple of winners at 1m-1m2f so it this trip looks well worth a go; has to be considered with Ryan Moore up for the first time.

Ran well in defeat in three starts at Listed and Group 3 level this term inc when fourth over C&D in May; had Bonnie Moon and Butterfly Wings behind her when fourth over 1m5f at Navan on penultimate start; no-show in a Cork Group 3 last time when Butterfly Wings finished in front of her (1m4f, good to yielding).

Form & Verdict
Second runner for yard; won a nursery at Down Royal off 63 last time; acts on any ground; poorly treated by the conditions of the race, though his talented jockey's 5lb claim will help; yard probably has a better chance with Drivers Seat.

1-7 in his 2yo campaign; won 7f nursery on good ground at Down Royal in September off 63 and is now 17lb higher after getting a big hike for a fine effort in a rated race at Listowel; has been gelded; unproven on very testing ground but is the choice of McMonagle; can't discount.

Form & Verdict
Second runner for yard; mild promise in a trio of maidens at 6f to 1m; huge improvement on handicap debut over 7f (good), landing a nursery at Down Royal by 5.5l off 67; got a 13lb hike for that and steps back up to 1m now in a tougher race; Ronan Whelan keeps the faith and he should go well again.

Closely matched with some of today's rivals on recent efforts, and ran his usual honest race when third of 17 last week at Naas (2m); that trip appeared to stretch him, and before then over 1m4f he was a closing third behind Handani; Reese Holohan rides again.

In new blinkers when staying on best at Galway (1m4f, yielding) and stamina appeared stretched by 1m6f when swamped late on at Killarney; tactically versatile and Reese Holohan's claim is well worth having.

Form & Verdict
One of two for last year's winning yard and the choice of Browne-McMonagle; clear promise in both of his runs to date, over 7f on debut at the Curragh and then over 1m at Leopardstown; had a subsequent maiden winner 0.5l behind him last time; still early days for this colt and he will win races but he probably needs to find a bit more in this company.
