Form & Verdict
All four starts have been here over 5f, notably coming late to land maiden in December and nine days later never on terms third of four (Moonhall Lass second when receiving 10lb); slow-starter and still looks a work in progress so could have more to offer now upped in trip and rider's claim gives him every chance of reversing that form.

Dual AW winner at 5f-6f; finished last of 8 on handicap debut at Dundalk off 88 but was only beaten 4.5l; beat one home on turf debut in a rated race at Cork (5f, good); rated 10lb lower on the grass and this stiffer test could suit; not without a chance.

0-22 in Ireland but form figures of 311 since joining James Owen and 2-2 since returned to turf back in cheekpieces; an 8lb rise will make life tougher but she's shortlisted having been taken out on account of rain-softened ground last weekend.

0-22 in Ireland, but has done well since joining James Owen, finishing a close third of seven at Southwell (6f, AW) last month (form worked out well) before getting off the mark at Yarmouth (6f, good) on Tuesday; 5lb penalty may not stop her, especially with Henry Callan's record this year reading 3112116114.
