Form & Verdict
Some fair maiden form before improvement in first-time cheekpieces to score over just shy of this trip at Roscommon early in the month, winning with plenty in hand; upped 6lb for that but looks the type to keep improving and should go well on return to handicap company.

Form & Verdict
Progressive handicapper, especially on soft ground, winning at Naas and chasing home a smart type at Navan over 1m2f; bit too keen and didn't appear to get home over today's trip at Galway on latest but not to be ruled out here providing he settles better.

Form & Verdict
Cork winner (1m2f) upped in trip since, not clear run when third behind Ameerat Jumaira at same track and was again doing best work at finish over 1m6f at Listowel when close third on soft, having been under pressure from some way out; seems to hit a flat spot in his races but no doubting his stamina and ground should suit.

Sole win came at Cork in 2023; decent form last autumn, including a close third over 1m4f at Galway and second in a 19-runner contest at the Curragh, with Whats New, Earthsong and Bruant behind; may improve from a Cork run, but has to reverse form with Celtic Drud and Earthsong.

Sole win came at Cork two years ago but went close last summer over 1m7f at Leopardstown and more recently close third over 1m4f at Galway last month; didn't quite get home in heavy ground at Listowel but solid run nonetheless; blinkers now replace cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Blinkered filly not without her quirks and can be keen but has won her first two handicaps, at Killarney and better again when easily shrugging off a 7lb rise over this trip at Cork; up a further 6lb which could be within her compass but ground concerns having been withdrawn at Listowel on soft.

Effective in blinkers but surprising to see them back on after returning to form in new cheekpieces at Cork where she was third in a 1m4f Group 3; probably needs further now and was staying on when fourth in this race 12 months ago.

Steady improver last year for the Halford/Collins team, winning handicaps at Dundalk and Curragh; career-best on return when runner-up in C&D Listed in April (good) but well below that form twice since, latest in Munster Oaks here; first-time cheekpieces need to bring improvement to figure.
