Form & Verdict
Mare likes an ease in the ground and was fourth career win when making successful seasonal return at Cork in March; only beaten 2l in much more competitive Curragh contest (1m) when not clear run but had a couple of today's rivals ahead so more needed.

Eight wins, two of them here; latest success was over 7f at Naas in March and ran well in big-field contest at the Curragh next time; disappointed when odds-on for Gowran claimer last week, but picked up a few grazes and she's better than that.

Eight-time winner, five over this trip; landed 7f handicap at Naas on soft two starts ago; ran well off 4lb higher when beaten 6l into sixth at the Curragh 19 days ago; should go well back in trip and has won off higher in the past.

Form & Verdict
Handled heavy ground when winning Bellewstown maiden last year and again on seasonal return for this yard in Curragh handicap last month, making most when beaten little over 1l; same mark here so has to be respected from yard which has made a fine start to the season.

Led, was headed, but then rallied for a 0.5l third of 16 at Limerick (1m, yielding); 1-24 strike rate is not a great return but has placed on many occasions; should go well again off 1lb higher, but this ground may not suit.

She's thrived this season and made it 3-5 for the yard (wins at 1m7f-2m1f on good to soft/heavy) when winning big-field mares' novice handicap at Kelso four weeks ago; from out of the handicap she's 12lb higher today back against males but it remains to be seen where her limitations lie.
