Form & Verdict
Only beaten half a length in a Leopardstown maiden before bolting up in a lesser maiden at Roscommon; poor run on handicap debut last time but that was a deep event and she may resume progress back in calmer waters.

Has won two of her last three, a 7.5f good-ground maiden at Roscommon and a 7f handicap again on good at Cork; just 3lb higher here but she has a lot to prove under these testing conditions.

Back in form this summer and deservedly got her head back in front with 6f Curragh win at the start of last month; not in the same form at that venue latest over slightly further and not a certain stayer over this trip on testing ground.

Twice a winner here at 6f and twice successful over slightly further at Listowel including early this month when running away; 9lb rise however makes this tough and stiff 7f here raises stamina concerns.

Form & Verdict
Won two Leopardstown handicaps last season and has been running well in defeat throughout this term; creeping up the handicap without winning isn't ideal but her consistency gives her solid each-way claims and testing ground over 7f could be ideal.

Got her head back in front in a 6f Naas handicap in June and bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts when third of seven back at Naas last time; however, others are probably on more lenient marks.

Form & Verdict
Won three times as a juvenile and showed that she had trained on when narrowly denied at Pontefract on return; ran okay at Chester before two poor runs followed; stamina to prove at this trip debuting for new yard but signs in her pedigree that she will stay and she's proven on soft ground.

Verdict

This looks particularly competitive with a chance taken on CALIFORNIA GEM who is proven in the conditions and could be a potential improver over this new trip. Last time out winner Linger For Longer is respected and Helpmeout is a solid each-way player again. [Phill Anderson]
