Career best over C&D earlier in the month and while all three wins have come on testing ground, she handles quicker conditions; possibly vulnerable to better treated sorts now though. |

4th Nov 2023 Soft 1m 7f 152y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Rapid ascent in the Irish handicap last season, winning three times for Declan Queally; well beaten on final start there, however, and bought for £28,000 in May before also well beaten at Ffos Las (40-1; ridden prominently) three weeks ago for new yard; could be all the better with that outing behind him and, with his Irish wins all on soft or heavy, he's not dismissed. |

Rapid ascent up the Irish handicap last season, winning three times for Declan Queally; well beaten on final start in April; bought for £28,000 in May and would need to have maintained his progress to take this on stable debut off new mark. |

Off the track for 19 months before running respectably in a 2m3f handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last month; would have been a lot closer that day with a clearer run and better jumping at the business end; could well have an impact here even if he has 21L to find on Dragon's Pass. |

Frustrating sort, has often looked like a possible future winner; placed in ten of his 26 races, including for this rider on his final three starts last season; unseated at first in a point-to-point at Tinahely last month; risky proposition but would not be a surprise winner all the same. |

Frustrating sort remains a maiden after 25 starts but his best recent run was when second to Aodhan May over 3m1f at Wexford last time; only got caught close home after going clear then and this shorter trip will suit better; shortlisted. |
