Well handicapped on last year's Irish best; has not made a big impact in three runs for Stephen Hanlon (single-figure price on each occasion) and cheekpieces didn't help over 7f three weeks ago; dropping down the weights and new headgear is tried but there are risks attached.

Lightly raced 3yo a keen-going sort has shown fair level of ability in three maidens here over the winter without really getting home; hooded now for handicap debut and could go well if having an effect.

Safely held in nurseries here last autumn but much more encouraging comeback run when second in C&D claimer a week ago, coming from fair bit back under today's rider (first ride) under stands' rails; unchanged mark and should go well.

Got off the mark at the 27th attempt under rules at Exeter (2m, good to firm) last October; ran her best since when runner-up at Fakenham (2m7f, good) 26 days ago; her versatility distance-wise holds her in good stead but her win-record is off-putting.

Scored off today's mark in first-time cheekpieces at Exeter (2m, good to firm) in October and posted a good effort over 2m4f the following month but was pulled up three weeks ago, after a break, and her Flat pedigree raises doubts over the suitability of this trip.
