Form & Verdict
Maiden form was undistinguished; showed definite potential for handicap success when 3 1/2l second in a 5f contest at Navan just over three weeks ago; today's rival Layoftheland was back in seventh, but she missed the break then and is better judged on her recent second placings.

Three turf wins include one at Fairyhouse (6f) in 2024; high head-carriage proved his undoing when second off his reduced mark at the same venue on Wednesday; had excuses at the same track last week (upset in stalls, not clear run) when well backed in an apprentice handicap won by Monastere.

Three turf wins include here (6f) in 2024; yet to hit form on turf this year but has taken a 14lb drop in the handicap and excuses here last week (upset in stalls, not clear run) when well-backed in an apprentice handicap; no form at this trip (from few opportunities) but not one to rule out.

Sole win came over C&D in 2024 but has been running consistently in defeat on AW; beaten just a neck at Wolverhampton 18 days ago off 2lb lower; may build on that back at scene of his win, but with his 1-25 strike-rate caution is advised.

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.

Inconsistent filly but she had an excuse when upped to 1m6f last week and that was after a brave win over C&D (classified event) seven days earlier; still unexposed on AW and has possibilities if she can recapture that penultimate form; visor is removed and blinkers are now tried.

Ex-Irish filly who advanced her form (in a first-time visor) on just her second run for current yard when landing 9.5f classified event here a week ago; she's a big player under a 5lb penalty with this longer trip also a likely plus.
