Maiden has run respectably at times including at this track but isn't progressing; might have found the ground too soft last time; cheekpieces need to help.

Hasn't really shown winning potential as of yet at 1m-1m4f; well beaten in a 10.5f claimer here on latest; steps back up in trip but others make more appeal.

Form & Verdict
Lope De Vega filly is first foal of a 1m-1m2f winner (inc AW Group 3; RPR 106), a half-sister to winners Delius (French 1m4f Group 3) and Juan Elcano (1m2f Listed); market likely best guide on debut.

Much improved from Curragh debut run in June when winning 1m1f fillies maiden there month later, making all; one of two unexposed runners for the yard although this a much stiffer task.

Sent off at 66-1 in 1m2f maiden here on debut but far from disgraced finishing seventh of 19, 10.5l behind the winner; stayed on well so not sure this drop back in trip will suit but worth watching with a view to the future.

First reserve; well-bred Lope De Vega colt never sighted (green) on Fairyhouse debut early this month over this trip; sure to come on for that but may want further to fulfil his potential.

Second runner for yard; modest Flat sort showed some ability on hurdling debut over C&D before pulled-up at Ascot next time; others preferred.

0-7; sent off favourite over 1m2f here a month ago and wasn't beaten far into third behind Jawhary; that was after a break, so might be sharper this time.
