Winner of four races at this track; arrives here in good form after a Down Royal success under this rider who has been aboard for three of the mare's seven victories; capable of making her presence felt again. |

1-26 on turf, the win coming in July 2023; not beaten far on two occasions last month; 8l fifth when favourite at Fairyhouse last week, just in front of He's Justagent. |

1-25 on turf, the win coming in July 2023; not beaten far the last twice, including a 2l fourth over C&D (good) on latest; most of best form is on a sound surface so probably needs the rain to miss. |

1-24 on turf, her sole win coming at Down Royal (5f, good) in July 2023; worth considering on her close-up fourth at Sligo, though Whatswrongnow (seventh) has shown improved form since then; overall record is a source of concern. |

Never in the first three in nine outings; needs to improve on recent 6f form at Fairyhouse; mid-field last Friday, better run a week earlier when fifth of 18; first reserve. |

Third reserve; eight race maiden showed more on return from a break over C&D last week in first-time tongue tie (retained); ran okay sole previous start on soft; not without a chance if gets a run. |

Seven-race maiden who didn't kick on in handicaps at Dundalk over the winter; best run came on turf but that was over 7f and may need this after 114 days off; wears first-time tongue-tie. |

Three wins up to 7f and solid efforts on three of four runs this year; this trip probably stretches her but can run respectably even from a difficult draw. |

Ended juvenile campaign on a positive note when not beaten far in nurseries at Down Royal and Dundalk; raced too keenly when failed to run to expectations at Limerick on stable debut; likely to be capable of much better, providing she settles. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 94y |
10st 0lb |
Not a frequent winner (5-65, placed 12 times), placed only once from nine starts this year; looked unlucky when third over 6f at Fairyhouse on penultimate start; again met some trouble in running at Down Royal last time; others more reliable. |
8/1 |

20th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Not a frequent winner (5-64, placed 12 times) and placed only once from eight starts this year; however, she looked unlucky when third over 6f at Fairyhouse two weeks ago and could go close. |
5/1 |

6th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y |

Hasn't been threatening this term but minor signs of a revival when only beaten 4l at Listowel on Sunday and didn't get the clearest of runs; slower ground and 6f both fine and she's down to a workable handicap mark. |

AW winner, showed potential for turf success with several good Curragh runs last season; beaten favourite in races at Limerick and the Curragh this season for this stable; seems risky but could feature; competing from a new career-low, 23lb below initial mark after debut win. |

Got the better of I Bid You Ajou in 7f soft ground handicap at Down Royal in September before signing off the campaign with a lesser run at Gowran; drop back to 6f for this return perhaps not ideal and has stall 20 to overcome; off 228 days. |

Two-time Flat winner at a modest level; won two weeks ago on the level at Roscommon (7.5f, good); has been well beaten all five starts over timber; down 2lb for 18l defeat last start in this sphere but needs more; rain would be a concern. |
