Hasn't yet fulfilled promise of juvenile debut at the Curragh; 9-4 fav, keen in blinkers when faded to fifth in Tipperary maiden last month; switch of headgear for handicap bow and, on paper, could be on a good mark but wouldn't be bullish about that. |

Runner-up in two 1m4f maidens at the Curragh in October; rose to the occasion when highly tried in a Listed event at the same venue last time; overcame trouble in running to take third place behind two older rivals, including Group 1 winner Helvic Dream; all of her races have been on testing ground; should win readily if adapting to this surface. |

2-14 over hurdles; is 10lb above last win but has hit the frame in each of his last four runs; beaten just 2.75l at Limerick latest (21.5f, soft); new visor could eke out more, but he would prefer softer ground. |
