Form & Verdict

Mehmas filly had issues at the start on debut at Dundalk (5f) in February when a 5-1 shot but she showed a bit of promise and finished a 3.25l fourth; should improve for that and 6f may suit on breeding but her yard has yet to have a winner this season.

Form & Verdict

Top rated with a mark of 80; best effort yet came on latest when a 1l third of 11 at the Curragh in a 6f maiden (soft) in first-time cheekpieces which are now replaced by blinkers; leading claims on the figures and her yard is in good form; big chance.

Best effort for Ralph Beckett came over 7f on the AW at Wolverhampton; well beaten in a pair of maidens on soft ground at 1m2f and 7f first two runs for this yard; drops back in trip but she's hard to fancy on what she has shown the last twice.

Form & Verdict

Well-bred daughter of Bated Breath offered something to work with when an 8l fourth of 9 on debut at Dundalk (7f) in December, weakening late on; this shorter trip should suit better on the evidence of that run and her yard is 11-58 here in the last five seasons; could go well.
