Third-place finish at Gowran was a rare positive recent effort (1m, yielding) on penultimate; didn't build on that in a similar contest there last time; three-time turf winner is well handicapped on his best form and cheekpieces go on now to try and recapture it. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 195y |

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. |
