Hasn't added to her debut Curragh 2yo maiden win but knocking on the door in handicaps of late, latest here over 1m2f when tried visored; blinkers back on here but plenty to do at the weights raised in class. |

On a losing sequence but she really caught the eye when a running-on third of 14 in 1m2f handicap here two weeks ago; up 2lb but very much one to consider. |

Ex-Kevin Philippart de Foy; formerly a useful performer and was successful at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) last April; now 24lb lower than for that win but she's struggled since and has form figures of 9050876 for her current yard; opposable. |

Has progressed really well since joining this yard this term, recording back-to-back premier handicap wins at the Curragh and when hitting the line strongly here over 1m1f on quick ground; keen and never involved from a wide draw behind Dunum at Galway on latest; drop back to 7f may not suit. |

Has progressed really well since joining this yard this term, recording back-to-back premier handicap wins of late, at the Curragh and when hitting the line strongly over 1m1f at Leopardstown 19 days ago; strong stayer at this trip so a truly-run race will suit and favourable ground conditions persist. |

Winner of a premier handicap at the Curragh last time (1m, good); had a number of today's rivals behind him on that occasion; consistent runs prior to his recent win; up 5lb and a number of those in behind him didn't get a clear run that day so he could be vulnerable. |
