Four AW wins, sole turf win came at Leopardstown (7f); late headway into midfield on recent yard debut at latter venue, remains unproven over this far. |

2-18; experienced filly was narrowly denied in a big field handicap at Leopardstown last time off 66 (7f, good); up 1lb to 67 for that 0.75l third but she won nurseries off 68 and 76 last October; those victories came on yielding-soft and heavy but she handles quicker ground and she should be on the premises. |

Made all on AW debut and second start back from a long absence at Southwell (1m, AW) in April, and third there since (1m) in a race that is working out very well; won on turf in 2024 and he's a strong candidate if his good recent form continues back on grass. |

Course winner (5.5f, yielding) last year; good third in a Gowran claimer (1m, good) this month and she kept on late in the day when filling the same position at Punchestown (1m1f, good) on Tuesday; each-way possibilities turned out quickly. |
