Form & Verdict
Progressive form in three maidens in the Spring, notably Curragh defeat of the smart Galen, making all (Kortez Bay third) on good ground; has plenty of speed so this easier 7f should suit; likely more to offer (Group 3-entered) and could play a major role.

Last year's two wins were achieved over 7f, including a Listed race at Cork; plenty of merit in a 6f Group 3 Curragh run on her final start, when fourth of 11 despite having lost considerable ground at the start; will need to avoid a recurrence but not without a chance.

Form & Verdict
Much improved on returning in May with 6f wins at Naas and the Curragh; recent Listed effort can be marked up a little as she didn't get a clear run at Naas so retains appeal here with this easy 7f to suit.

Great money-spinner for connections and especially effective at Galway, winning for the third time there when landing Colm Quinn Mile in July under well-judged front-running ride; fine effort under 7lb penalty five days later at same venue when third in Ahonoora Handicap back at 7f; second in this race two years ago off 101 so major respect although draw hasn't been kind.

Loves it here, winning this race two years ago and back at his best when winning Colm Quinn BMW Mile on Tuesday under well-judged front-running ride; went close to completing this notable double in 2023 so has to be respected although mandatory 7lb penalty makes this a lot tougher; good draw.
