Nine-time winner, including twice over C&D; no joy yet this season; ran better than the bare result from 10lb out of the handicap in the Rockingham; finished well in the recent Naas event won by Sovereign Cry; not ruled out.

Nine-time winner including over C&D; no joy yet this season but ran better than the bare result from miles out of the handicap at the Curragh last weekend; this more realistic and lurking on a dangerous mark.

A fairly useful ex-Irish 5f winner; yet to hit top form for his current yard but better signs when ninth of 14 in 5f Newcastle handicap three weeks ago; no forlorn hope off a 2lb lower mark if building on it.

Ex-Irish 4yo; best run for current stable when ninth at Thirsk last month; the return to 5f/AW won't faze him but this looks a warm race in which to end his losing streak.

He's on a competitive mark on last season's best form for David Marnane but he was well beaten on his stable debut at York last October and it was the same outcome there this month on his return; he has plenty to prove.

Form & Verdict
Ordinary form in turf maidens; hugely improved when switched to 5f nurseries at Dundalk, winning twice before confirming rate of progress with an odds-on win in a conditions event over the same course and trip; went off too fast when raised in class on seasonal debut in a 5f Listed race at Cork; held by Sir Yoshi on that running.

Speedy filly has an excellent strike rate over C&D (4-6) including this race last year off 2lb lower; went close behind Howd'yadoit at Navan in May but has failed to fire in three runs since; return to this track offers hope of a revival and cheekpieces are added; bold bid likely from plum draw.

Has only won on the AW but nearly put that right in a 5f handicap at Navan last month; not suited by the rain-hit ground when well beaten in the Dash at Epsom; failed to maintain a strong gallop in a Cork Listed race in which Likedbymike and Erosandpsyche were placed.

Sole win in 18 starts came in Cork maiden in October 2024; produced career best over C&D in April when 0.75l second to subsequent Group 1 scorer Mission Central in Listed race; finished ahead of Keke when filling the same spot at Cork last month and line can be put through handicap run six days ago as gaps didn't come; leading player if not backing up too fast.

Nearly beat Stag Night in a C&D handicap before two fine runs at Listed level at Naas in races won by the subsequent Group 1 winner Mission Central, finishing closer on the first occasion; another fine effort when second in a Listed race at Cork; the downside is that she is 17lb higher than for her last handicap start.
