Green both starts; had North Africa well behind when promising third in 1m2f Curragh maiden won by recent Group 2 Blandford Stakes victor Hanalia; after two months off, laboured effort at same venue in July when flattening out over 1m4f; has again been given plenty of time and respected on that debut form.

J: Chris Hayes

T: D K Weld

AW debutante; won a 1m2f Navan maiden in September 2024; sole start since a solid effort on handicap debut at Roscommon in July (10.5f, yielding); bred for this longer trip and could go well if handling this surface.

It wasn't a strong maiden she won at Navan (1m2f, good) last September but did well to overcome a slow start and still looked green; belated seasonal return but could well have more to offer entering handicaps.

Fourth runner for yard and looks the first-string with McMonagle in the plate; ran on well in the closing stages when fourth on debut at Limerick (11.5f, good, 12-1); drop back to 9.5f not an obvious move on that evidence but she certainly has ability and she should be finishing off better than most; each way claims.
