Form & Verdict
Made the frame in three runs in maidens on turf, one as a juvenile and two on very soft ground over 1m2f last May; 1m4f seemed to stretch her stamina here last month; closely matched with Second Girl on C&D running last time but more exposed than that rival; first-time blinkers.

J: Ben Jones

T: Ben Pauling

Well beaten over 2m here on stable/hurdle debut in May and ran to just a fair level when placed over that trip on next two outings; however, last year's useful Irish Flat form over middle-distance/staying trips in headgear offers hope he can improve over hurdles now he's upped to 2m4f with a visor refitted; interesting.

Fairly useful on the Flat in Ireland; quiet on hurdle/stable debut and although he ran better to be second at Worcester (2m, good to soft), that was a modest race; likely to need more here.

Form & Verdict
Went very close in a Gowran maiden last April; ran green and was beaten by a fellow newcomer who was tried in good company later but was found wanting; should be more mature now and may be able to equal to the task in a maiden of this standard.

Off the mark at Sligo last month but disqualified as rider claimed the incorrect weight; well-backed to gain compensation off same mark at Cork 16 days ago but left with a fair bit to do when staying-on third (Zoffman second) over this trip; 2lb wrong here but interesting to see what tactics top US jockey employs.

Placed in nine of his 13 Flat starts; beaten only a head at Laytown last September; same margin here last Friday, losing out to a longer-priced stablemate; official rating of 73 reflects his limitations; vulnerable to less exposed rivals.

All three Flat wins have come over an extended 1m1f on good ground, including this race last year off 1lb lower; opening two runs this term on AW were okay, well held latest under a 10lb claimer at Limerick; respected back here but ideally wants better ground.
