Stayed on strongly to win a point at Boulta in December; half-sister to a bumper winner and dam was a bumper winner; ought to go well and her point experience could be key. |

Dual Sligo winner at this trip and third career win came at Listowel last month over same trip under a positive ride, drawing away from the last; 6lb rise okay, should be thereabouts. |

Both wins were over this trip at Sligo, and he's been running well this season, but fully exposed and his second at Galway was a distant one. |

Dual winner at Sligo but not as effective elsewhere; decent run over 2m4f at Wexford in July but disappointing back at Sligo last month; others preferred. |
