Some good form in stakes company last year and on third start this term won 1m4f Limerick Listed, improving markedly for the step up in trip; denied a clear run back at 1m2f on latest in Group 3 at the Curragh so certainly not one to rule out back at this trip.

Record of 0-14 for current yard but her form in Listed races this term is encouraging; finished second over C&D in May (0.5l in front of Subsonic); another positive third over 1m4f at Pontefract last time; the fact Browne McMonagle rides her ahead of Star Performer is a big boost to her chances.

Listed runner-up at Gowran Park (1m4f, good) last July and she's well handicapped on that form; following 360,000gns sale she may have needed the run on stable debut in Group 2 at Newmarket last month (first-time cheekpieces); however, she was tailed off and has something to prove after that; a tongue-tie is added.

Mare is 2-17 overall; without a win since landing a 2m4f listed race at Mulheim in September 2023 for Peter Schiergen; outran odds of 50-1 on second start for this stable when a 0.5l second in the Group 3 Stanerra Stakes at Fairyhouse (1m6f, good) on latest; a repeat of that would give her a place shout.

Only a maiden win to his name, but he's a smart stayer; placed in the Ebor and Irish Cesarewitch last year, and in pair of French Group 1s at the back-end; 300-day absence and will surely improve for the run.
