Form & Verdict
Chesham Stakes winner last season has returned to form of late in handicaps, beating Lady Lunette at Limerick and then outpaced late by same rival over 1m1f at Leopardstown, having raced keenly; nicely in at the weights here and big player if she can see out this extended trip.

Winner of the 2023 Chesham; again ran well at Royal Ascot last year, second in 23-runner Kensington Palace Stakes; sprang a surprise in a four-runner 1m1f Group 3 at Leopardstown on penultimate start; this may be too sharp on reappearance.

Form & Verdict
Ex Jessica Harrington-trained 4yo was beaten little more than 4l in last year's Irish 2,000 Guineas but never managed to reproduce that level of form, invariably keen and not getting home; bought for 26,000gns at Tattersalls July Sales and interesting to see what his new yard can make of him; cheekpieces now left off.

AW maiden winner and ran a cracker in the Irish 2,000 Guineas in 2023 but hasn't repeated that form since; encouraging enough comeback run (after 258-days off) at the Curragh a month ago, staying on late after not clear run; down to an enticing mark and could go well.

AW maiden winner and ran a cracker in the Irish 2,000 Guineas in 2023 but hasn't repeated that form since although solid run in Naas Listed last year; reappears for new yard off much reduced mark (23lb below career-high) and interesting to see if new yard can exploit it.

Form & Verdict
Three-time winner including Cork Derby last summer; yet to score this campaign but consistent, notably touched off in C&D fillies handicap on good; weaker finishing efforts on both starts since have prompted the fitting of blinkers here; every chance if they work.
