T: Matthew J Smith

Won over 1m at Gowran last summer, and twice in the autumn over 10.5f at Dundalk; return over 1m4f was respectable; slow to stride and weakened tamely over 1m2f at Navan on Saturday; tongue-tie and blinkers worn then replaced by the cheekpieces worn for AW wins; stamina on dam's side of pedigree, but not sure to stay this far.

T: Matthew J Smith

Won a 1m handicap at Gowran in May off 14lb lower and added two 10.5f handicaps at Dundalk in the autumn; not a bad run on seasonal return at Gowran last month, but remains 6lb above her last win so new headgear combination must eke out more.

Won back-to-back races at Dundalk last autumn (both 10.5f); also won a 1m handicap here last season (good) off 14lb lower; off since November and stamina to prove for this trip, so probably best watched.

Hit the crossbar when making her handicap debut on return before Gowran win in May and back to form over this C&D more recently; promoted to second after interference on her penultimate start before career best success latest and should remain competitive despite 6lb rise.

T: Matthew J Smith

Modest form in maidens last term but confirmed promise of a big run on return when winning over 1m at Gowran in May and bounced back from some lesser efforts when runner-up (promoted from third) over C&D last month; form knocked since but still lightly-raced and first-time cheekpieces may help.
