9st 6lb |
Losing run since July 2023 but has been giving the impression his turn may be near again in two starts for his new yard; yet to try further than 1m2f on the Flat but has shaped like it would suit at times and one to consider. |

Won this event two years ago; fair form towards the end of last season; out of sorts this term until showing signs of a revival when fourth at Navan on stable draw; drawn high but Nicola Burns may be able to counter any disadvantage |

Winless since rattling off a treble in 2023; however, her two recent runs over 1m suggest she is close to striking again, with a close second at Leopardstown and 1.5l sixth at Galway last time; probably doesn't want it too soft; new headgear on. |

Verdict
Colin Keane’s last two rides for Paul Flynn have resulted in a win and a second, which heightens interest in PALLASMORE LASS (nap). Although a maiden, she has suffered some near misses at this trip and her stable won this 12 months ago with one returning from a break. Everylittlestep was perhaps stretched by the 1m2f on heavy ground at Navan and she’s a winner waiting to happen. Asisaid and Barnhill Rose also command attention after being in the thick of it last week at Leopardstown.[Alistair Jones]
