Form & Verdict

Snug Dundalk maiden winner over this trip on her second start at two; ran well over 7f on debut, but disappointing over that trip here in a race in which today's rival Lovejoy was second at the beginning of the month.

Form & Verdict

Won a 5f maiden at Navan last August; did not seem to stay in a 7f Group 3 at this venue on her final outing and may have needed her return when last of nine in a Listed contest; outpaced over 5f at Cork 11 days ago on her handicap debut.

Four-time winner in France for her relocated trainer; progressive in sprint handicaps last summer; apparently suited by some ease in the ground; hard to assess but a good run is certainly not out of the question.

Form & Verdict

Best form last season was early in the campaign; remained a maiden until her seasonal debut this year, in front a furlong down when scoring over C&D in March; went up 7lb for that and underlined improvement by taking second in a 20-runner contest at Navan; was 6l clear of the third, but even so an 8lb rise looks quite harsh.
