Form & Verdict
Has done well since going handicapping, staying-on third to an in-form older rival here over 1m and then coming from off the pace (tardy start) with decent turn of foot to score over 7f at Dundalk 13 days ago; good chance of staying this longer trip and type to keep improving.

Form & Verdict
Half-brother to smart 6f/7f performer Shartash had finished second three times in maidens before opening account over 1m at Dundalk 13 days ago in ready fashion, making all; could now make his mark in handicaps although this could be about his stamina limit.

Form & Verdict
Limerick maiden win (1m) last month came on quick ground, slow start wasn't ideal but had every chance when fourth in handicap there 10 days later; bred to stay this trip and more so could still have improvement in her.

Lightly raced 3yo showed decent level of ability in a couple of turf starts last year before landing odds in AW maiden in November; respectable reappearance over this trip in good-class Leopardstown Listed early this month but probably needs to improve to play a major role here.
