Went close at Fairyhouse over 7f (good) and went one better to notch fifth win 23 days ago when beating El Fontenaro by 0.75l over 6.5f at Limerick; the pair pulled well clear and the runner-up won next time out, so has obvious claims off 9lb higher. |

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. |

Hacked up in an early-season 6f Naas event last year on soft-to-heavy, earning a 15lb hike in the ratings; lost form subsequently; was back on a reasonable mark for his reappearance in the same Naas contest this year, and took full advantage; has got away with a 4lb rise this time; form boosted by runner-up Exceeding at Leopardstown on Wednesday. |

Unproven on ground slower than good to soft; five-time winner (5f/6f), the most recent win at Musselburgh in April off a 10lb lower mark than today's; second in each of her last five starts, including when ahead of a few of today's rivals at Goodwood (6f, good) two starts back, but now tries 7f for the first time off a career-high mark. |
