Narrowly beaten in a 1m handicap here in late October and ran to a similar level over 1m4f two days later; beaten just less than three lengths in a C&D handicap last week; cheekpieces tried.

J: Robert Whearty

Record of 2-16 on turf but she was narrowly denied when third in a photo-finish here over 1m on AW debut, and was just behind Pralognan when filling the same spot over 1m4f latest; 7lb worse off with that rival at the weights makes life tougher but she's respected.

Runner-up to Paddington in a maiden here two seasons ago; hasn't offered much in handicaps and now with a new trainer who adds a tongue-tie to cheekpieces.

Three-time winner who goes in the mud but was soundly beaten on final two starts of last campaign and suffered the same fate on his return; now has some serious wellbeing issues to address.

Out of form since winning at Gowran (7f, heavy) last October and is 5lb lower now; was runner up over this C&D in October 2022; absent since a poor run at the Curragh in May; can't be completely ruled out but hard to be confident given his recent form.
