J: James Davies

T: Tim Vaughan

Progressive 1m6f Flat winner in Ireland last summer for John Joseph Murphy; is going very much the right way in this sphere too for her new yard, comfortably making it 2-3 over hurdles in 2m juvenile at Newbury in December; this demands plenty more but she shouldn't be underestimated after a break.

Form & Verdict
Minor maiden promise; only sixth of seven on handicap debut at Dundalk (1m2f) but did go off at only 4-1 and wasn't seen to best effect from off the pace (finished one position behind Sottsands); remains of interest and blinkers are now tried.

Sixth of 18 over hurdles at Punchestown in May (2m, good to yielding) was her best hurdles run, but she didn't build on that at Limerick last time when tailed off (2m4f, soft); probably best on a sound surface.

Vastly improved this summer (after wind surgery) and completed a quick hat-trick over hurdles at Worcester (2m4f) in May; shaped very well on his chasing debut with short-head second of eight in 2m4f handicap here 17 days ago; hiked up 11lb but can regain winning ways.

Never a threat when behind Ice Jet at Navan (1m2f, good) on his penultimate run and fared no better at Cork (1m4f, soft) when tried in cheekpieces; those aids are now removed, as is the tongue-tie sported on his last four starts; bit to prove now.

Six defeats include three handicaps but he's run well this season over 1m at Bellewstown (good) and Gowran (heavy); however, only 1lb lower this time and 1m3f isn't an obvious positive on his pedigree.

79-rated gelding won twice in June at Cork and Leopardstown, both over 1m on nice ground; midfield on soft to heavy at the Curragh latest (1m) and has hinted that this sort of trip might suit, though he's not bred for it.

Both wins on goodish ground but versatile as regards conditions as it was yielding to soft when second in a 1m handicap at Galway where three of today's rivals were behind; came from well off the pace that day so it was some effort.
