Showed improved form to win well from the front at Navan last time over this trip, having raced alone; this is tougher off 13lb higher but could again break free of the pack, so has a serious chance. |

Fair ex-Irish 6f winner; yet to hit top form in four runs for his current yard, tried in a visor when fourth of seven in 6f Southwell handicap 15 days ago; needs to step forward despite a falling mark. |

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. |

In the first two in four of her last five races, the exception was over in a 5f Naas contest won by Surpass And Shine, with My Girl Sioux third; had the better of the exchange with that dual subsequent winner at Tipperary and Naas; leading chance. |

Generally consistent round Dundalk in recent times, in various forms of headgear, but expensive to follow; trainer always to be respected with runners here but this is the furthest this one's been and he'll need to settle if his stamina is to hold. |
