Improved effort on latest at Naas (1m3f, good) on second start back from long layoff; prominent racer has slipped to a dangerous mark, drops in grade and this shorter trip is fine; should go well. |

Is on a dangerous mark and it wasn't a bad effort on return from 419 days off at Bellewstown last month; should strip fitter now and has won twice at just short of this trip at Dundalk; not discounted. |

AW winner and plenty of placed form on turf; long time off before return at Dundalk and handicapper has given him a real chance (not beaten far off 73 last year); top claimer on board too. |

Caught the eye when third of 12 over C&D on her return to action in May; hasn't built on it since but she's well handicapped if this sets up for her. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Soundly beaten in competitive York sprint two starts ago but ran well over 7f on other two outings this season; comes here on a workable mark and can be dangerous if the new cheekpieces have any positive effect. |

1-18 strike-rate and down the field at York last Saturday (6f, good; reportedly never travelling); however, prior to that she was a close third on reappearance at Haydock (7f, good to soft) and a good case can be made on that form; effective on good to soft; could bounce back with big run. |

The pick of her form is a fourth in a Gowran handicap from a 13lb higher mark in June last year; her runs since then have been poor and she was last seen finishing a 32l ninth of 11 at Clonmel in May; cheeckpieces go on but they need to spark huge improvement. |

9st 9lb |
Acts on good to firm and good to soft; got back on the scoresheet at Leicester (7f) in May but she's been well held over this trip in both subsequent runs; has bit to prove after 103 days off and she's still 3lb higher than for both her wins. |

She has won a 7f handicap (0-55) here in each of the last two seasons; well held in a Class 5 handicap at Newmarket last time though and likely vulnerable once more. |

Both wins were achieved in the same 0-55 handicap at Leicester 12 months apart, justifying favouritism on fast ground 25 days ago; a 4lb rise and deeper opposition can find her out today. |
