Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the sixth attempt when beating a solid yardstick in a Naas maiden last month (7f, yielding); ran well here twice last year so the surface is fine and she was entered in a Listed race here two weeks ago but didn't get in; she must be well-regarded and she should go well.

On a hat-trick after a Naas maiden win (7f, yielding) and a C&D rated race at the backend of last year; a bit concerning that she's been off the track since but she could go well if fit; check the market.

Sole win in 7f AW maiden at Dundalk as 3yo; slightly frustrating for this yard as he's been involved in some tight finishes for them, including in this race last year and when just behind Supreme Clarets at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) in July, but fitting blinkers could help; solid chance, if so.

Has won three on the AW including a 1m handicap here a year ago off 73; won off 78 at Southwell in February (1m); no impact in last three starts but two of those came in top handicaps; lacks a run but the booking of Keane catches the eye; check the market.
