Half-sister to a few winners for her owners; opened her own account at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) last month and, with still low mileage, looks likely to improve further; respected up 4lb.

Form & Verdict
Irish filly who had a straightforward task in weak maiden at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) last month; it's hard to evaluate that form precisely but a 2lb rise for 15l win is possibly lenient; furthermore, she may build on it.

Now 11lb higher than for C&D win in March, an emphatic success gained at the main expense of the Irish Lincoln winner Ribee; has maintained progress with a wide-margin win in a handicap hurdle at Bellewstown; strong contender.

Dual-purpose sort added his fifth Flat win when comfortably winning a Curragh handicap earlier this month on soft to heavy; winner of a Naas maiden hurdle (2m, good to yielding) when trained by Paul Traynor and has been a runner-up in both starts over timber for this yard, including when best of the rest behind the decent Eachtotheirown at Thurles in January; big chance.

Form & Verdict
Seven-race maiden; acts on soft; has proved inconsistent (form figures 0294) since handicapping but should be thereabouts if able to repeat latest effort (close fourth at York); on same mark.

Six-time winner who is suited by good or slower ground; has mixed record this season but she won at Carlisle (1m, soft) in June and went very close at Chester (10.3f, good) last time; on same mark as for that last run and she's a big player if she can repeat the form.

Won over C&D on good ground in 2021 and came from off the pace to end long losing streak at Carlisle (1m, soft; first-time blinkers) in June but her form has dipped since that latest success and others in this field have more persuasive profiles.

Her three handicap wins have all come from the front, including twice round here; back in form last Tuesday (9.7f; again didn't lead) but there's not much wiggle room off this mark and an easy 1m on quicker ground is a bare minimum now.
