Form & Verdict
Got an 8lb rise for a narrow Leopardstown win, an adjustment explicable in terms of the 3 1/4l gap to the third; needs to be produced as late as possible; a good sign that Colin Keane sticks with her; further progress is feasible with her confidence boosted.

OR: 59

Form & Verdict
Hit a good patch of form last season, winning twice; first effort of note this year on at Gowran when a staying-on third over 1m; was well fancied for a 7f contest Fairyhouse last week, but was already fading when stumbling inside the final furlong; third reserve.

Struggling for form and out of the weights for this; best form over further.

Two wins for Jessica Harrington were over shorter trips; two runs for current yard seemingly leave her with a fair bit to find.
