Won a C&D maiden last year (yielding); has struggled in handicaps since then; well beaten at the Curragh last time (1m, good); maybe the return to this track will spark something.

Went close for Henry de Bromhead and was only beaten 2l in a fillies' maiden at Killarney last month when coming on from her yard debut; some speed in her pedigree but a drop right back to the minimum could be too sharp; engaged at Sligo, Wednesday.

Had the run of things up front when close up in a 1m Killarney maiden 22 days ago (yielding to soft) but had threatened before in maidens and a visor is now fitted dropped into a claimer.

Went close on several occasions last year but signed off for Henry De Bromhead as a ten-race maiden and she made a quiet debut for this yard in a 1m handicap at the Curragh; mark has slipped to 66.

Form & Verdict
Decent juvenile maiden form but way below best on seasonal return in two runs this term, keen and not looking to stay 9.5f on handicap debut at Gowran latest; cheekpieces worn latest now discarded and back in trip.

Hold-up sort signed off last season with a 12.5f win at Thurles for Dermot Weld; winning start for this yard at Leopardstown in May over 1m2f; has gone up 14lb for those two wins, but could continue to progress; chance.

Appreciated the step up in trip to 1m4f-plus when winning at Thurles on his final start last season; ex-Dermot Weld; further improvement possible for his new trainer; this may not be far enough to bring out the best in him.
