9st 9lb

J: Richard Kingscote

T: Ralph Beckett

Lightly raced 4yo who has won here and has run well to finish third on her three starts this season, most recently at Pontefract (1m4f, good) in June; improvement is possible if and when she settles better but she has just over 3l to find with Karmology on the Pontefract form.

Trip and ground no problem and she made a pleasing seasonal return when third behind Santorini Star at Goodwood last month (1m4f, good); 2lb better off today and likely to get closer; stable, which is also represented by Allonsy, have won three of the last seven renewals.

T: Ralph Beckett

Left it late to win a 1m4f handicap at Doncaster last September (good to soft; fine on quicker) and confirmed herself progressive with a third at Listed level next time (1m5f AW); an untouched mark might still be on the high side, but there could easily be more to come at four.

Regressive in Britain; has been consistent in maidens since joining Johnny Murtagh; Irish handicap debut at Naas provides plenty of encouragement; runs from a mark 13lb below her original assessment as a juvenile.

Smart pedigree and went off a strong favourite at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) only to run herself into the ground by racing too freely; has 7l to find with Lady Pagasa but could be a different proposition back in trip.

Inconsistent but she returned to form with a close third at Lingfield (7f, AW) this month on her third stable start; she's fine at 1m and on turf and can be in the mix if backing up that latest performance.

Dual 7f winner on turf, but 0-6 on the AW albeit runner-up on three occasions; hasn't shown much in two starts for this yard, though, and others make greater appeal.

Half-sister to seven winners including Scottish Summit (7f-1m2f including AW; RPR 101), Dumbarton (1m Flat, 86; 2m hurdle) and Festival Theatre (7f AW 2yo; 86); dam 7f AW 2yo/1m2f Listed winner and second in Irish Oaks (112); stable has the occasional winning 2yo newcomer and the market should be informative.
