Form & Verdict
Won on debut (in Ireland) but has failed to repeat that form kept to 5f on turf since, latterly for new yard; combination of physical tweak (gelded since last run) and new trip/surface needs to make a difference.

T: David Loughnane

Added to his debut win at Cork last May when landing a Southwell handicap (6f, Tapeta) last month, on his first run since being gelded; only 3lb higher here but he has a patchy record and needs to step up again after a laboured effort at Southwell 12 days ago.

Finished in the frame in all three nurseries late last year (demoted a place on penultimate start), going down by less than a length when fourth of 12 here (6f; first-time cheekpieces) last month; return to this trip may suit and she holds each-way claims.

Difficult to assess with total confidence, having produced mixed RPRs in four starts, but she's quite nicely bred and represents top yard so looks the type to win a race at some stage; possibilities if taking well to first-time headgear.
