9st 9lb |
6-11 over 10.7f-1m4f at Dundalk, including winning his last three under Rory Mulligan; 4lb higher mark and different track pose questions, but not opposed lightly. |

Bidding for a hat-trick after wins over the extended 1m2f (beating today's rival Daonethatgotaway) and this trip, accounting for Voice Of Reason, with Benavente back in fourth; capable of making his presence felt despite 12lb aggregate rise. |

Last win came in a Navan handicap over 1m2f in October 2023 and remains 9lb higher; has run some competitive races in defeat since then and wouldn't be a bolt from the blue should she run well after a break. |

Losing run since 2023 but holding her form well on AW lately; at her best when she gets a good pace to aim at, which looks likely here but form of her recent Dundalk third has taken a few knocks and may be vulnerable to better treated rivals. |

Two of her three wins over hurdles have come at Tramore; however, she was a long way below her best in a similar race to this at that course last month; that run was prefaced by weak form at Dundalk during the winter. |

Returned from 181-day absence at Perth (2m, good) in June last year to get off the mark over hurdles with an easy victory off 95 when a well-backed 15-8 favourite; posted a fine third off top weight on the Flat at the Galway festival when last seen; big player but market will be crucial after his absence. |
