Form & Verdict
Won 7f heavy-ground Down Royal maiden on her debut before finding Group 3 too tough; placed over this trip at Naas and the Curragh on first two handicap starts; failed to improve at the Curragh, his first run on good ground and first time over 1m; however, the form of that race is working out nicely; cheekpieces may help.

Won Down Royal maiden on her debut before finding Group 3 too tough but more promising efforts in couple of handicaps so far this season and shaped like she would relish step up in trip when runner-up here earlier this month.

Form & Verdict
First past the post at Killarney last September before a disqualification due to a case of mistaken identity; justified favouritism a week later when beating 18 rivals over 1m at the Curragh on soft ground; ended the season with another fine effort in a premier handicap on heavy at the same venue; has never run on going better than yielding.

Three-time winner at this venue in handicaps at 7f-1m on good and soft ground; saw out 1m2f well when a 1.5l second over C&D in the Northfields premier handicap last season; just missed black type when fourth in a Listed at Navan (1m, good) on penultimate; rated 94 so unlikely winner but could challenge for a place.

Form & Verdict
Five-time winner failed to add to her score last season; has taken a while to hit form this term but appeals as a strong contender now after a head second behind the favourite Talia at Down Royal late last month; now 12lb below her last winning mark.

Form & Verdict
Three wins last season, including in quick succession at Listowel and Bellewstown in the autumn; failed to sustain improvement on her final start, but it was by no means a bad run, seeing that that was her third run in a brief period; 10lb higher than her last winning mark, so not an easy task.
