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.

Seems versatile ground-wise; first turf win when beating one in tremendous form (won again since) over 7f at Catterick latest but had been a shade unfortunate not to win over C&D in June, when just losing concentration at a fatal stage; back up 4lb but was close behind a well-treated one in this race last year off the same mark; solid chance.

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.
