Consistent filly last term, winning Galway festival handicap on final start; has won on soft but this will be the deepest ground she has encountered; still quite unexposed after only three handicap starts.

Form & Verdict
Landed gamble from for Eddie Lenihan on nursery debut at Killarney last summer and maintained progress on seasonal return for new yard when second to a hotpot in Navan premier handicap in June (1m2f, good); 1m5f trip looked beyond him in Ulster Derby latest and big drop in trip here; form is on better ground.

Progressive 6yo gained a third Kilbeggan win in May before landing C&D handicap success following month (Chanceawetmorning a disappointing favourite); Bellewstown run was disappointing but has to be respected on overall profile.

Dual-purpose; three-time hurdles winner, all three wins coming at Kilbeggan at around 2m on decent ground; 0.75l win there on latest (Metamorpheus second); may not uphold that form off 6lb higher.

Form & Verdict
Plenty of promise on sole 2yo start at Killarney (soft) and reappeared at same venue to win maiden over today's trip last month, asserting late on to win a shade snugly; looks as though he'll stay further so this stiffer test should suit; opening mark looks on the high side but rider's claim brings him into it.

Is just 2-25 but ran a cracker in this race last year, just getting chinned after forcing the pace; hasn't repeated that level in four runs this year but is off a dangerous mark if getting back to best; 1lb out of the handicap.

J: Leigh Roche

Only two wins from 22 Flat starts; however, he won a C&D handicap 12 months ago, and has been placed nine times; below best on seasonal debut at the Curragh in April; more like it when fifth at the same venue in May; drawn high.

Form & Verdict
Promise of sole 2yo run hasn't been built on in two starts this term although useful enough form at both Cork and Listowel; has been gelded since and cheekpieces now fitted for handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
Likes it soft/heavy and in good form in the spring over shorter trips, winning at Navan and touched off at Gowran; too keen and didn't get home over much longer trip on last week's return from a break, no surprise if he made a bigger showing here with trip/ground in his favour.

Dangerous when gets his favoured soft conditions, as when bolting up at Bellewstown in October; recent Ballinrobe comeback run should have brought him on but won't get his preferred ground here and terrible draw to overcome.
