Fairyhouse maiden winner in May 2025 (6f, good); failed to fire on handicap bow at Gowran when last seen in June 2025 (7f, soft) but ground may not have suited; worth a market check on first start since.

Slowly away when well beaten fifth on debut on soft ground at Limerick in April; different proposition when an emphatic winner of a five-runner 6f maiden at Fairyhouse late last month; trip should be fine, though she is out of a half-sister to top sprinter Kingsgate Native.

Maiden ran some fine races last year and was third in the Birdcatcher nursery over this trip at Naas; however, needs to bounce back from two poor handicap runs this term; blinkers tried now.

Kingman filly made pleasing debut at Cork (7f, good) on debut last month when second to subsequent Group 3-placed Bella Isabella; respectable third behind City Of Memphis (fifth in Irish 1,000 Guineas last weekend) there (6f) on latest; runner-up has won since; sets a high bar.

Ex-Irish daughter of Kingman showed fair form when runner-up for her new yard at Ayr (6f) in August but she came in a well-held fourth on her AW debut at Southwell (7f) last month; she has the form to play a big part if back on song.

Ex-Irish filly who hasn't really progressed but is proving consistent (2332); sold for 110,000gns from Juddmonte prior to running creditably at Ayr (6f, good to firm) most recently; returns to 7f for AW debut; good chance in this field.

Easy winner of a 1m2f claimer and followed up in a small-field handicap at Leopardstown (1m1f); surpassed all that form when a close fourth in the Listed 1m4f Galtres at York (form has been franked); very much on the upgrade and should make presence felt.

Easily got off the mark in an optional claiming race at Fairyhouse (1m2f, good) on third start; made further marked improvement when winning a four-runner handicap at Leopardstown (1m1f, good to yielding) later in July, again making all; this is a sterner test in every respect but 1m4f looks plausible and she's unexposed, heading the right way.

Easily got off the mark in an optional claiming race over 1m2f at Fairyhouse last time; sometimes the form of those races needs to be treated with caution but the runner-up is a solid yardstick so this filly has to be respected on handicap debut; ground an unknown.

One of the favourites when third on handicap debut at Gowran (7f, soft) and less testing ground here might bring her on some more; tries cheekpieces.
