Won this race last year before two respectable runs at Group 3 level; low-key return at Listed level at Naas but should be fully tuned up now; more on her plate in this renewal though.

Last year's two wins were achieved over 7f, including a Listed race at Cork; plenty of merit in a 6f Group 3 Curragh run on her final start, when fourth of 11 despite having lost considerable ground at the start; will need to avoid a recurrence but not without a chance.

55,000 gns yearling who put in a hugely promising effort on debut over C&D last season when beaten 2.25l by the very smart City Of Troy; third has also won since; off 328 days and a massive player if running to that sort of form on return.

Stepped up from his Dubai efforts earlier in year when making all in 1m2f Group 3 Alleged Stakes at the Curragh (first-time cheekpieces) in April and bettered that under a penalty when second in Listed Wolferton Stakes at Ascot, racing wide and hanging right on quick ground in front when beaten 3/4l; still improving and big player.

Stepped up from his Dubai efforts earlier in year when making all in 1m2f Group 3 at the Curragh (good; first-time cheekpieces) in April; couldn't repeat the form in a Group 2 there six weeks ago and a 5lb penalty for the Group 3 success leaves him vulnerable here.
