Form & Verdict

Easy winner of an AW maiden last season but not progressing this campaign and the blinkers did nothing for her when behind some of these at Navan a month ago.

Expensive yearling and shouldn't be long in winning after competitive efforts in sprint maidens at Listowel and Naas; however, would appear to be flying too high here.

Form & Verdict

Talented 2yo (not beaten far in two Group races) but underwhelming this season and dropped out tamely in the blinkers at Navan latest (held by Cigamia); returning to 7f could work but others are more persuasive.

Form & Verdict

Only 1-9 and after contesting the Irish 1,000 Guineas she was a disappointing favourite in Listed company at Navan, in which Cigamia was runner-up; clearly needs to leave that running a long way behind.
