Versatile sort has won from 1m-1m4f; uneven form over hurdles and on the Flat this term and was poor at Tramore last time; can start slowly; needs her best.

Dual-purpose mare; not the most consistent sort but has run well in two of her three turf outings this year, including when third over a shorter trip at Down Royal last month; almost two years since her last win.

Dual-purpose mare who went close over 1m2f at Sligo (good) but disappointed there over hurdles last time when 23l behind the winner; she has won twice on the Flat with her last win coming at Gowran in 2023 off a 5lb higher mark; can't be dismissed.

Exposed mare who was 6-44 on turf in Ireland; beaten in claimers on her two starts last month (7f and 1m, turf/AW) so it will be interesting to see how she goes in the market on this first stab at 6f since her only attempt over three years ago; stable debut.

Eight wins, two of them here; latest success was over 7f at Naas in March and ran well in big-field contest at the Curragh next time; disappointed when odds-on for Gowran claimer last week, but picked up a few grazes and she's better than that.

Form & Verdict
Showed some promise on debut over C&D in April despite not getting the best of runs; possibly did not have much to beat in a six-runner Ballinrobe maiden last month; unexposed filly who should be able to make an impact in handicaps.

Modest form under both codes for David Pipe; she has proved a different proposition since joining Rod Millman, running away with a small-field Class 5 at Chepstow (1m4f, good to firm) two weeks ago and making light of her penalty at York (1m4f, good to firm) last week; didn't look straightforward under pressure there but she was well on top at the finish and Oisin Murphy replaces an apprentice today; 7lb ahead of her mark and she's a major player.

Has done most of her recent racing over hurdles (0-15) but returned to the Flat to land a second career success easily in 1m4f Chepstow handicap (good to firm) last Friday, her first outing for Rod Millman; 3lb well in under her penalty and likely to be popular with Toby Moore able to claim 7lb against fellow apprentices.
