Form & Verdict

Two ordinary runs last season; mildly promising on recent return when seventh of 18 in a maiden at the Curragh; addition of cheekpieces may help; unexposed, could be a dark horse here.

Showed ability without threatening over 1m at Cork in April. disappointing when quite short in the betting for a Limerick maiden; obtained further experience when fourth of 11 at Fairyhouse; potentially interesting here making her handicap debut nine days after that qualifying run.

Form & Verdict

Modest form for Richard Hannon; consistent for this yard, runner-up in handicaps at the Curragh (6f) and Naas (7f) in March; sixth in 27-runner Curragh contest in April and in the money again at the same venue last time; holds an obvious chance but is possibly vulnerable to an improver.
